I'm thinking the heat from the exhaust manifold will burn it off. I painted the engine yesterday and it looks sweet! If anything, I'll paint the intake the same as the exhaust manifold- cast iron gray, but I'd rather have it more original. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 61 Member | | Member Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 61 | I think Bill Hersch sells what you'll need for the original look..they have high heat paint..B.

You could check at your local parts store for high-heat paint in a spray can, if you don't have to have the original color. some of that stuff is rated for up to 1500 degrees. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 571 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 571 | I painted my intake with the same paint I used on the block and the head. Duplicolor engine primer and then top coat. I think it's rated at 500°. It has held up well so far. 6000 miles. I have the high heat on the exhaust manifold that has held up just as well.  | | |
