Haha, I have used that and it doesn't hold up to manifold heat. Same thing, flakes off all over everything.

I used DUPONT 800 degree celcius paint..it held up.
My neighbour sprayed MOTIP 600 degree celcius paint and it's holding up it was a kinda greyisch metalic paint.
I think the thing is to make sure your manifold is clean before painting...or sand it a bit

i've ben sanding it
that's how i got it to loook like that with sandpaper,stainless steel and brass detail brushes and then some mothers polish here and there. im goin g to get somemore opions before i decide wether to paint it or not. It'll be at least another month before the install begins

Well its gonna rust pretty fast. I have had good luck with the cheap gas gril paint on stock manifolds.. It might not hold up on a turbo manifold though. Painting it won't really increase the life of it. Just make it look nicer for longer.
