Thread: Remove paint from Edelbrock performer??

Thanks, my friend actually has one at his trophy shop, I'll see if he can do it for me.

A suggestion is to send the manifold out for a Jet-Hot coating. They will blast and coat it and you wont have to worry about black gas streaks on raw aluminum as it is real easy to clean after that. If you get their shiny coating, it is close to about as shiny as a non-pro polisher can make it and without the trouble(read dirt and pieces of buff all over anything anywhere close including you) and hours of unproductive time

I've done lots of aluminum pieces in a blast cabinet, they come out great. Doesn't hurt to tape off the sealing surfaces with some duct tape, but not essential if you don't get crazy with the blasting nozzle.... Just a precaution is all.

The manifold will polish up nice if you have a lot of spare time and don't mind buying a polishing kit. I usually do some aluminum polishing on those long, boring winter days, good time killer....
