is there any paint out there that someone has used w/ success in painting the turbo manifold? i know they make 1400 degree paint. but will that withstand the heat of the manifold?

turbosol

VHT Flameproof, good to 1500, been on for about six months and doing great.They sell it at NAPA.

so this stuff really works?
does it last?

sounds to good to be true

You do have to touch it up once in a while. I find the flat black to work and look the best.

ah i knew it

i cant decide if i shoud jet-coat everything

or wrap it

or paint it with the 1500 degree paint

i spent a grip of $ on my setup
i dont care about bling bling
but max rev manifolds look nasty (all brown and rusty looking )
i want my setup to look clean

i used the VHT... i'm sure i'll have to touch up every now and then... but it looks much better than those shiny manifolds

Look at some of the pictures. If you don't like the bling look they also have a few other finishes that withstand 2,000 degrees F.

i went to home depot and bought high temp paint for like bbq grills, holds till about 1500, hasnt flaked, looks great. since my manifold is cats, i just wire brushed and sanded the excess rust dust, dryed it, then heated it a bit under a lamp, sprayed it a few times, and let it dry. worked great and the paint is intact. try that before a hundred $+ ceramic or that other crap
