Heat paint (MANIFOLD)

[MEXY867M]

Exhaust manifold have tryed loads of different makes and none stay on have any of ya brought any that work,have now heat wrapped the manifold and what a flipping job to do but all done

[fieldy1972]

ive only painted centre sections, never a manifold and it was fine. stayed on. ive heat wrapped loads of manifolds over the years. you can paint the heat wrap if you want. that seems to last. did you soak the wrap in water before putting it on the manifold? i didnt the first time i done it. couldnt stop itching for the rest of the day

[MEXY867M]

yer soaked it first made it easyier to put on as well,have painted other parts of exhausts and been ok but every manifold has always come off,

None of them work. Some say bbq paint works but I tried it and it burns straight off. If you get your manifold hot enough you can burn any paint off.

[fieldy1972]

it also depends on the condition of the manifold. rusty or new etc. it dosnt seem right that a paint like that will last without a primer of some description. i will always heat wrap a manifold and if / when it starts looking tatty i will either paint it with high temp paint or replace.

Cermakrome works, pricey though

I just used VHT exhaust paint on my manifold and system and its still on after 300 miles. The manifold was blasted and then heated before painting so I think that,s helped

[banarama]

it will all come off eventually ,tried so many different types over the years,best left alone in my experioance

I used BBQ paint on mine. Get it from B&Q. Black and it looks cool.

I have used VHT and BBQ paint. Prepped both on a good surface and they both burnt off. VHT was the worst it burnt off with the engine at idle.

 

Ceramic coatings work but are very expensive. Nickel plating works and is cheaper.

thanks for all the advice have heat wrapped it now that will do till I get a bigger and better manifold

Camcoat is the only way it will never burn off.

powerspeed sprayed some dark grey heat paint on my manafold when they made it and its still on 3 1/2 year later It has lightend up but still grey

I used Frost manifold paint but the RS Cast manifold returned to "burnt orange" eventually.

Many years ago I had my MG Manifold Stove Enamelled and 10 years later with constant use Road/Track it still looks just as good.

 

IIRC it cost about 60 Quid for the whole process.
