Has anyone got access to a sand blaster or acid dip at work
Am considering removing my inlet manifold for a few mods(fuel rail conversion, samco turbo inlet pipe and manifold spacers), and while its off i might have it painted, just wondered if any one local had access to the means of cleaning the old one up first

buy a 2" paint brush, cut the hairs off so there's about 10mm left, so the bristles are nice and erm stiff
get a tin of Gunk (engine degreaser) from halfrauds and clean with the brush, good stuff, only takes about 10 mins to do, I painted my inlet manifold with smooth hammerite, and gave it about 4 coats, after 8 months, there's still no sign of cracking or flaking

Was thinking of blue, but not 100%, it might look a bit OTT
