Tubular manifold paint?

[vern]

So just bought this manifold and it obviously needs a freshen up, what do people use on them?
Ceramic coating would be ideal but as on a smaller budget ive heard BBQ paint has the best heat range for such a job.

Anyone used this or another spray paint that will last?

B&Q paint Lol! It will need to be ceramic coated! Spray paint won't last a day mate

No no you read wrong....BBQ paint as in high temp like many many other have used.

Like i say dont want to ceramic paint a relativly cheap manifold dude, im asking if anyone has painted theres with decent results.

I wouldn't even waste a fiver on paint mate, that manifold looks like a jap crap and without a doubt it will crack

Was going to say the same.

It's not worth it on the cheap for this mate, like billy said it may crack, some weld may fall off, etc etc

If it does it could be bye bye turbo.

Sell it on and get yourself a decent spec r manifold cover.

I have heard some of these cheapo ones don't crack, and it looks like the one you have but I wouldn't risk it.


The only stuff I can think of that "may" work would be

Can get different colours if you google it.
