Painting manifold

I bought a UGR cast manifold a/c compatible.

Can you paint cast manifold or does it have to be powdercoated?

Either or, or neither?

Thanks in advance.

That's a great tutorial. Thank you for that for future help.

But that didn't answer my question

I need to know if I can paint/powdercoat cast iron.

you can paint cast iron... but you better find some really high temp paint. I doubt powdercoat will last... best bet... ceramic coat it.

You can do it, but paint or powdercoating may not be able to take the heat. Even with high temp exhaust paint, make sure that you do good surface prep or it will flake off and look like crap.
