Application Tips
For the best results, manifold should be removed, abrasive-blasted, and wiped down with PRE Painting Prep (10041Z) before applying. If you wish to apply Calyx while the manifolds remain installed on the engine, use a wire brush to remove surface rust and dirt, then wipe down with PRE. Apply Calyx with a rag or toothbrush, and work it into the pores of the metal. For a buffed appearance, use a fingernail brush.

The best thing I have done to my cars.
Showing a friend my 59 Corvette that is a body off frame restored car and my 62,000 mile 59 Impala that is kept as original. He said look at your exhaust manifolds they look horrible he then told me about using Calyx. Me being a lifelong car guy that does his own work never heard of it. I bought it this is one of the best things I have done to both cars that only a half hour per car to do. WOW I love it, what a great product they look like they just left the factory.

Calyx Exhaust Manifold Product.
The Calyx Manifold Coating is a really good product. Very easy to apply. The result is the exhaust manifold appearing brand new with a grayish "pig iron" look. What is also great is the ease of touching up with the product. With high temperature paint, one must remove the exhaust manifolds to repaint them, not so with the Calyx product. Finally, the aroma of the Calyx product is quite surprisingly nice.

It's manifold magic
I'm not sure how it works or how long it last but it's makes my builds look 10X better.

Questions & Answers
Can I apply rust converter to headers and then finish with this product?
Rust converter should not be used in high temperature applications.

I've had my Calyx for a couple years. When I went to use it I found that it had gotten hard and very hard to apply. Is there a way to re-soften the contents?
A small amount of water can soften this product up again.

Does this product need heat for curing, and/or can it be used on alternators, brake master cylinders, etc?
This product is a temporary coating that will not require heat to cure since it is a rub on revitalizer that could be used on master cylinders etc.

Will this only work on cast iron or will it work on an engine metal (aluminum intake)
This product works the best on Cast iron manifolds. It could be used on aluminum but may look dark on it.

Is the "Pre" required? What happens if you don't use it? Is there a cheaper alternative?
The surface needs to be properly cleaned & de-greased before applying the coating to prevent any adhesion issues. You can also use a standard lacquer thinner for this as well...

what happens if I put on chrome exhaust pipes?
It will make it look cast iron. The product is not water proof

Will this also work on the intake manifold?
Hello,
The product would work just as well on the intake manifolds as well as the exhaust manifolds.
