as u can see i went flat black crazy
i think this paint might crack the resist on the paint is 1200F
someone was telling me that turbos get up to 1500F in tempture
i just think it looks better than being rusty

Looks alright, you should have re-polished the IC piping IMO.

Yeah I wouldnt have painted the IC piping and BOV like that. It looks like it was in a car fire.

I hope you used some sort of very very high temp stuff on the manifold. Anything that can be bought at an auto parts store will flake off in a very short amount of time.

i used the same can of flat black on my exhuast and cat converter and still holding up strong. even thou the turbo manifold and etc get hotter than that
but i wont care once its in the car lol . just making it pretty before it goes in.

genop

has anyone actually found a spray paint that will hold up? I know there are different coatings that will, but thats sorta expensive.

i have never found a spray paint that will hold up. but on my dad's 400 small block, for the headers we bought some black super high temp paint from summit racing. for a can about half the size of a coke can it was like 30$ or something, but you had to paint it on then within 24 hours you had to heat it up on the car and bake it on there, wasnt spray paint. hope that helps.

add a little clear coat or chrome it out...then your all good....

Thats gotta be the nastiest thing i have seen all day so far. You have a SS manifold why not just polish it out to get the crap off it - just a thought.

Check at some Hotrod shops in your town. I bought some VHT 1500 degree black paint to do my manifold and downpipe with and its held up for a year and a half. 1200 degree will flake away and look horrible after a couple of hours. Trust me, find some 1500 degree and do it right while you have it all uninstalled.

91CivicSi: Do you have any more info on that paint you got? And any pics to see how it came out? (I can host them if you need it)

The pep boys near us carries 1500º paint, its made by the company "dupli-color". I used some of this on my turbo manifold and its held up quite nicely. Just make sure to use atleast 2 coats.

It holds up nicely to heat, but its not very scratch resistant.

I used Dupli-Color on my old block. Turned out really good.
