painting inatke manifold

[Untouchable7mgte]

hey guys

I was just wondering how i can go about painting that ugly intake manifold, nothing to flashy like black or something. Would regular high temp paint work or do i need something a little stronger. But i was just wondering thanks fot any posts.

Yes. I painted my valve covers with 500 degree paint and it works fine.

500 degree paint should be more than enough. Remember, this is the intake, so it's much cooler than say the exhaust manifold. Imo, a black one looks killer, but sometimes a shiny polished one also looks ewually as good. I'll attach a pic of a black one for you to check out.

I took a metal file to all the casting marks and had it powder coated. This was the one that went to my old 7MGE

i bought harris paint Engine Enamel and it has worked just fine. im actually painting as much of the engine i can with it. everyone swears the engine is just brand new. ill take pics as soon as my gf gives me my new digi-cam!

powdercoating would also be good

that new metalcast stuff from duplicolor is pretty cool and it's rated to 500 degrees as well
