Message	how do you think the manifolds will take the coating? I ask because is sent a picture of my new manifolds to a local shop that does ceramic coating and this is the response I got: "These manifolds have area that are sanded smooth, the coating is very thin and will show these sanded areas and the cast areas as well through the coating. You may want to have the cast finish sanded completely by a polisher before coating." Do you think it's really necessary to have the manifolds sanded/blasted before coating them?
