Default Powder Coated Manifold Pics

I got my manifold powder coated blue to match my valve cover and intake.. take a look, the 3rd ones the best:




psyche! I painted it myself with some high temp engine paint. Looks pretty good though eh?

It looks.... ok I guess. But turbo manifolds get crazy hot, and I wouldn't be surprised if your paint looks horrid in a few weeks.

It was coated silver, but the assface who did it before me did a horrible job. I don't think it was even engine paint and it flaked like hell so I sanded and re-painted it.

Oh well, I will fix it later. It's not even on my car for now so it will look good just sitting around.

Dude, Try Jet-Hot coating next time you do your manifold. I had mine done 2 years ago, and its still in great shape! (Except for where the Wastegate dumped on it for a short period of time) haha
I think its jet-hot.com or something. They have stuff that can handle VERY high temps

I left the old, and obviously snipped O2 sensor in so that I wouldn't get any paint inside the manifold.

Powder coating like that is usually only good to about 600F.

Yip it all looks good before you put it on and get some heat on it. Mine looked nice and shiney black.................................for about 20 minutes untill it all burnt off.

You would need some real high temp spray to get the paint to stay. Maybe that "jet" stuff will do the job.

You could also try high temp (1500 F) aluminized paint.
