I think LS1Nova has used it with success. Not for sure. "search" threads with him in it and send him a personal message. I think he can help you out. Good luck.

The black "Turbo X" is great. Sprays on easy and super tuff. It can be cured by engine heat or oven. Ive always used the oven. Check with Caswell Plating.

I used the turbo X black, works good. I did have some spots where it ran and was a bit thick and that peeled off a bit. As long as its a smooth thin coat, and baked on, its good to go.

Ive made a few calls seems the problem is you can not ship it by air, need to work out a way to ship it via sea.

I just got a bunch of stuff for an F1x car build I am doing...everything looks AWESOME. Quality is better then what I am used to with my last coater(I do not know what brand product he used)..but the techline stuff looks amazing. Unfortunatly, I will not know how it looks after heat has gone through it. We also coated the catback with a textured finish(black)... I can get some pics up by the weekend of what I have. All in all, it looks like great quality. I can ask the company if they will ship

Can you use this stuff on exhaust manifolds? I used another spray on type of high heat coating, baked on and all, and the rust came through in about a month.

Yes, works great on manifolds and housings. Its better to hit them with an 80 grit sanding wheel to knockdown the casting stubble so the coating doesnt flow off the little high spots.

Here is a set I did with Turbo X.

I used the same thing. Works It has been holding up great on my manifolds, hotside pipes and turbine housings for few years now.

LS1Nova - what filler did you use to weld those manifolds up?

I am going to have to find this stuff. Like i said, my other stuff was done by the directions with baking it and all. Do you guys ever have those cars outside in rain or moisture in the air. Mine isnt out there often and is usually is the dry garage but they still rusted. Kinda pissed me off.
