Why use time and effort to paint that? First of all, it won't make the car faster, second, it's not visible. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

if you want to make it look pretty and make a difference you can always wrap it in heat proof tape. |

The manifold looks crap, full of rust. so thought i'd spray it.. not the turbo though. i cleaned that up and used metal polish to bring it up. worked a treat. Cheers. |

tbh, i'd wirebrush that off before the maiden voyage. Slightest hint of boost and that's going to stink. |

Cheers. I didn't mean you painting your exhaust manifold, I meant this thread. Ask for the general opinion, and then ignore it???

you can paint the manifold without it burning off. a friend can get stuff sprayed with surmetal and it comes out silver. his work use it for coating turbine blades on military aircraft as it prevents corrosion and reduces wear.

What BENROSS said, made me change my mind and use Exhaust High temp paint, and not HAMMERITE. :) so this isn't a wast of a post at all. You know you all think im great. lol Thanks for your help lads.. Bonjour..

I was just re-assembling my engine and found the manifold was a beautiful gunmetal black colour with very little rust... maybe because on the first startup the oil pressure line melted and it got covered in oil?? either way it looks pretty good!!
