I bought Calyx and did a set of manifolds. Will never use it again. It does not "dry", is always "wet" and will rub off and will stain anything that touches it. It does look good, I don't know how it will last as I put in on about two months ago.

Paint isn't going to last too long in my opinion.

Depending on color that you want, this works well. Cast iron appearance.

Link is to macs but if you search the product you can get it about anywhere.

I've used Calyx and it is a good product. Not sure if the knockoff is as good, or whatever.


Just an option also.
