Default What are the types of "high-temp" coating for CAST IRON?

I got a cast iron turbo mani. that is getting sandblasted right now. After blasting i want to get it hitemp coated but i want the coat to withstand the intense heat levels the manifold sees (aka wont flake and crack off with time)....

I was hoping for a silver-color, i forget the name of the coat but i saw some drag stuff coated with it and it looked real nice. Regardless I am wondering what my options are as far as coatings go.

Looking for names of coatings and pics to if possible

They have a white coating. You can paint it though I think. They may have come out with a silver coating recently as well but I'm not sure. I'd say give them a call.

I have the JET-HOT sterling 1,300 on my intercooler pipes and it looks awesome. The pipes had a dull look to them so I got some polish and went to town. Now they look better then when I got them. I'm sending my manifold to them this week for the same coating. My pipes stay cool al the time even during the summer.
