i have black paint which can take upto 450 degrees is that sufficent to go on the manifold and exit pipe??

 

Mmm, not sure matey, should do I reckon.

 

mmmmmmmmmmmh i wonder if it will smoke??
cheers for nothing mate

 

lol Thats ok mate

 

It will flake off straight away.

I just had my new engine's manifold painted white (see pic) with that stuff and after 5 mins of idling it started to peel off

 

painted my manifold silver with the stuff from halfords its all cracked off now

 

nice pics btw exter, will post mine up @ the weekend

 

Steve, you will be lucky to fin something that dont come off!!! Good luck boyo

 

You don't paint manifolds or turbos! You coat them with ceramic heat barrier coatings.

edit: ...and I'm not referring to the terminology of painting. It's just that no paint will last, you need a proper coating...

 

Thanks mate

 

Cheers Stevo That was taken last week, its in and running now - looking and sounding sweet as a nut! Just got to run it in, then I can try some nice boost on the new ball bearing turbo!

Didn't think the paint would last long on the manifold - it was really there to make the photos look smart! LOL. My last manifold was like Jesse T said - porcelin or ceramic coated stuff and it didn't go brown/rusty colour but I managed to crack the manifold by overcooking it - doh.

 

oh well i still like the white turbo

 

Ive got some High temp manifold paint upto 700C il give it ago in the next few days...

 

kep me posted mate

 

JUST COVER ITR IN TEFLON IT TURNS WHITE

 

Get the stuff from the bottom of the frying pan - Then you'll know when its ready to fry and egg on! LOL

 

painted it last night, looks ok, just gota test it on the car to see if it stays on... the paints really weird its like a tar sort of thing! anyway heres the pics!

painted my drums and calipers with high temp hammerite and that stuff stinks after a little bit of fun mate..
