I bought a SFP manifold and I am happy with it so but it is showing signs of rust. I want to get a coating for it. Can I do it myself? If so, what product can I use. If not, who should I send it to? SFP charges $175.

 

If you are looking on getting rid of the rust then you can spray paint it yourself .. just make sure the spary paint is 2000 F so it wont flake off...

... keep in mind that spray painting your turbo manifold is not the same thing as ceramic coating it ... they do not simply spray some ceramic on .... it goes through a process and they bake it on ...

So if you want to save some cash and just do it for the looks Id go for the first option ... If you want to actually create a thermal shield, lower engine bay temps , keep more thermal energy going to that turbo , and at the same time keep the manifold from rusting then pay up for the ceramic coating ....

either go the SFP ... or here's a list of cheaper places ...

i'm dropping my parts of locally to get thermal coated. that is probably your best choice if u live near a big city i'm sure u could find a place. plus i got queted 175 for manifold,downpipe,turbo exhaust housing, but i'm dropping of my manifold,downpipe,dumptube and intercooler piping. looked under coatings in your phone book u might find just what your looking for and dont be scared to call and ask cause more than likely it want say thermal coating
