This. I was just at my old work looking at a few manifolds that just got back from there, they all turned out really nice.

hahaha, looks good till it gets hot

if you use canadian tire paint... i used professional paint once and it turned out good

Not too many paints are going to stay on a turbo manifold for very long, even ones you pay good bucks for. They will just last longer, but eventually they will be gone too.

Why??

This.

what about bbq paint ? those things get hot.

Im not talking about paint that can take heat. Im talking about coatings that are applied to absorb heat, to help cut down bay temps.

noobs.
ceramic coating. not high temp paint.

yes! exactly, why i used the term "coating" not "paint" haha everyone seemed to have missed that

look for HPC thermal coatings. full-race does them for an extra $150 on their manifolds they sell. and they come in silver or black

K i shall look into this place and turtles suggestion

Ok Semantics aside, your "coating" is still painted on. And I meant ceramic coatings as well. They just last longer, but pretty much nothing will stay on there forever. It will just look nice for a few years whereas BBQ/ High Heat paint will only look nice for a week or so,

what about heat wrap.... it may not look as cool as coating but will be more effecting

im going to try that too, because i have some laying around. But these cast manifolds are a bitch to wrap

if you do wrap them make sure you soak them in water first...learned this the hard way

spray bottle.

if you are getting it ceramic coated, dont wrap with header wrap.
