Awhile back I had looked at many different cast blast finishes and addressed my find. I will look back on my previous posts and see if it will help you. I found that that particular color had to be painted under very bright lights to see where the color actually was over a blasted manifold. The first time I definitely missed a few spots.

Here is the info I submitted a long time ago. It took awhile to locate it from my blog. I haven't posted in a long time.

The manifold was painted using a high temp 1200 cast blast finish purchased from Brandon Enterprises,P.O. Box 511, Trevose, Pa. 19053-0511. The paint number is 16-2688. It shows a manufacture called Seymour of Sycamore, 917 Crosby Ave. Sycamore, IL. 1-800-435-4886. They have a web page www.seymourpaint.com . found this paint to be so close to a blast finish you need to be cautious as to not miss any spots.

Hope this helps
