Clean it all up the best you can and then use etch primer and high temp paint.

Mine was just cleaned and sprayed with Simoniz high temp paint I think it was had a fair few coats though

cleaned mine with wirebrush in a drill, washed it off with brake cleaner,masked up the holes,primmed with halfords primmer,painted with halfords car paint,clear coated with halfords lacure

blasted and left as is is best.

Tbh that's the truth

Just got round to spraying the manifold yesterday, need lacuring yet but I like it

Finished painting my spare inlet the other day.

Before:



After:







That was a full de-grease, light sand with 800 wet, 1200 dry then 2 coats white etch primer and 3 coats Agri spec High temp gloss red.

Looking good. Wanna spray mine black. Where's everyone getting the pug badges to go on them from?

use a solvent to disolve the glue remove the badge then you can re fix it with some double sided sticky

There's a guy that custom makes them, original, new colours, other designs etc. for 3 quid or something.

I painted one a while ago, but it turned out to be warped. :/

i've sprayed them in the past and also had them powdercoated. always been much happier with the powdercoated finish to be honest

Yeh if you can get it powdercoated then of course thats going to be a better longer lasting more durable finish!

only pain is when the coaters decide to leave all the bolt holes uncovered and you spend 2 hours unpicking coating from threads..
