It seems when you start what seems to be a simple project, it just keeps snowballing. Started to replace my front inner fenders. Now amongst other things, I have a need to sandblast my exhaust manifolds and paint them. Can anyone recommend a shop that does sandblasting of such items? Being it is not the best time of year to have my Chevelle in the cars apart club, it would great to have a fast turn around time. Thanks.

Talk to a local powdercoating shop. They may either do it, or know of a shop in town that does small jobs.
I have them do all my Muncie cases. They do excellent work in my opinion. They also have different media to choose from.

Jeff, I used the Eastwood manifold paint on mine and had good results. The only issue I had was last Spring I moved the Chevelle to the front garage, and there was a temperature change overnight, so the floor sweated and I had small amounts of flash rust on the manifolds the next morning
I touched them up while on the car this winter, and they are looking great again. They smoked very little on the first startup.
