4 bucks.. or 60... 4 or 60.... come on hmt

i would have to buy more than 10 paint cans (which is like painting it at least 80 times, because its not a big manifold).

if that stuff helps keep in the heat.. cool.. but for looks.. i like the 'krylon touch'
The difference is...yours does not lower underhood temps and your's will come off(maybe). I know the stuff I sprayed on came off in my hand even after I baked it. I have used other stuff that stayed on but it has no thermal properties.

It won't come off of your Muffler, Charge pipes, intercooler, or whatever. I didn't say, "Hey look at this and buy it" Just showin' something I am doing now and thought someone would think it was cool. I'm such a looser.

i've got 1500 deg paint on the header on my car. it's holding up just fine, 2 months now. trust me, it's gotten plenty hot. It's all in the prep. we used paint stripper on it (it had crappy flat black normal paint), then degreased it, cleaned it, dried it, then painted thin coats.

also, if you read the spray can it says u have to cure it in an oven, most people dont im sure and just fire up the car and beat on it. Mine did smell funny for a day or two, but the stink is gone but the paint remains.

I got some of that por15 or por20 stuff (expensive) and coated my HF manifold and it hasn't flaked, chipped, burned or even changed colors for over 1000 miles whatsoever.. It's the best.
