i was thinking about painting my exhuast with high temp paint to stop it rusting (manifold) and because i can really and have nothing better to do atm. the only thing that concerns me is the fact its only rated up to 400c it only on a n/a car but wouldnt the manifold get hotter than 400c? or am i being a tad stupid.

400C is not enough temperature range. Here in the US we have VHT header paint, which is rated to 1500F (800C). I have it on my Corvette headers. Three years now and they still look terrific. I had them painted by the local powder coating guys who have a big oven to bake it on with. The can says you can use the heat of operation to bake it, but I think an oven gives you much more even heating. 1275 with Back Door Turbo |

Actually, I lie, the exhaust manifold burnt off and the paint flaked on the first run, the dump pipe off the turbo is perfect... which I found somewhat odd.
