Has anyone ever painted there exhaust manifolds? I was thinking of painting mine flat black with heat paint and wondering if it was proper? Thankyou.

I used high heat barbeque paint 20 years ago and it is still on them. Sandblast to remove scale and paint away. Use the flat black/gray color

Since we have high-temp paints that will survive exhaust heat, it makes sense to use them, since over time, an unprotected exhaust manifold will develop pits with resulting thin spots. In the interest of authenticity, perhaps someone needs to come up with a nice brown "rust-color" high heat paint, (to conceal the fact that we are in the process of preservation), since we can't simply buy new manifolds. Mine are painted, and as long as I am the caretaker, they will remain so.

Eastwood makes some nice manifold paint. One in particular is Manifold Dressing. It rubs on so no need to spray. They also have Factory Gray which is good for 1200 degrees. It is available in both spray and brush on. I find brush on to be a little easier than trying to spray manifolds on the car. Manifold Dressing is PN: 11171 and Factory Gray is PN: 10365Z

I used fireplace flat black/gray. Looks better than rusty manifold.Very high heat range.
