As title what paint is the best to use on a 2wd manifold - would refer a dark colour ??

 

You can get it ceramic coated in black

 

Bee pricing it up and i would rather spend the hundreds on something else so just wanted some paint, i have used VHT before but not on a manifold

 

Have you tried BBQ paint?

 

any good for you

Someone once told me that when you use VHT (very high temp paint) heat the item that you are painting as you go along apparently when you do this it does not burn off when at running temp

I've not tried it though but always remember the tip

i have use bbq paint on motorcross exhausts before it worked well

 

Don't suppose you know if that's dark or light grey and what the finish would be like brushed on

 

My mate swears by this on his race bike manifolds/exhausts, not tried it on a turbo car manifold though.

im not 100% sure but i took this pic off a thread on here and i think he used that paint on his manifold.

 

Thats the same company i used for my winkle paint for my rocker - good paint but had to be heated so i think thats the trick get the metal hot

Jeff that looks clean but not keen on the finish colour

 

It does not last ten mins when its glowing, looks great for a few mins

 

I used VHT on a stainless manifold on my 200sx, regularly was glowing orange (daily basis) and it was minted, still black after 6 months use.

tried it on my RST, it's still black but it's only been heated a few times

put it on an XR4x4 turbo's manifolds and it's started to come off as manifolds rusting, car sits around often though.

all 3 times i've heated the manifolds with a heat gun, it's always kinda powdery.
