Default manifold paint

i've noticed a little surface rusting on my manifold after a year of use in florida weather. any spray on paints that you can think of that will hold up to the heat. I figure its gotta hold up to at least 1500 F just to be safe.

the key is preppping, no paint will stick on greasy and dirty surfaces.

I cleaned mine with brake cleaners, let it dry then rinse it with water, then let it dry and put about 3-4 coats about 20 minutes in between
