Title: Manifold Colour
Post by: KFH on June 30, 2008, 09:41:48 PM
Can anybody tell me what was the original colour(s) on the manifold.  Is the inlet a different colour to the exhaust section.  Thanks

Inlet is engine colour, outlet is natural cast iron colour. Pot belly black works well to keep it looking neat.

They make Cast iron grey Hi Temp paint that looks real good on exhaust manifolds  ........FC427......

I painted the exhaust section of manifold with Cast Iron grey high temperature paint yesterday an baked in an old convection microwave as per instruction.  It looks almost original.  Extremely happy with the results.  Thanks Mark for the suggestion.
