Chrishoughton1989 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Can anyone recommend a spray paint to paint my manifold in ? Ideally black. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Green Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I wouldn't go for spay paint mate, the brush on stuff is better IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Get it ceramic coated. I cant see any paints lasting longer than a few hours of driving on a mani. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chrishoughton1989 Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 How much does that cost ? Won't the brush on paint last ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Addymk2 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 BBQ Paint. Built to stand the heat of a BBQ and is tough as shit. B&Q sell it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H_D Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Thanks. What's the finish like ? Depends on your painting skills. Im pretty sure you can get it in rattle cans too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vizzioarts Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Painted my intake and exhaust heat shield with "Hammerite High Temp Paint" from Halfrauds. However it gives a matt finish: BBQ paint should also do the job Think it might be gloss? not sure Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vizzioarts Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 U can paint a inlet mani with anythin bud hes askin about exhaust mani. I know you can, but its high temp paint i used on it. Was just showing the finished result Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Danb Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Only ceramic coatings work (circa £150plus to get it done) any other paint that is marked as high temp won't last longer than a few weeks if that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 There's a guy in the other thread asking about this and someone BBQ painted there's over a year ago and it's still going strong... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im the the guy lol... We used in on my mates civic turbo and its still looking good. The car only comes out on a dry weekend so its not a daily Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dangeestarlet Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I fit log burner fires and we use hi temp stove paint, good upto something like 600 degrees cheap aswell and stoves burn higher than bbqs and it's also easy to spray http://bit.ly/S3plTO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I fit log burner fires and we use hi temp stove paint, good upto something like 600 degrees cheap aswell and stoves burn higher than bbqs and it's also easy to spray http://bit.ly/S3plTO Exhaust manifold gets upto 900 degrees though. I've used a few "high temp" paints and none last forever, as above if you want a good coating ceramic will be the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
