Red Top Engine...!!

Hi peeps,
just wondering if any of you with Classic STi's had ever repainted the Manifolds.. As i have have seen 1 and the red paint has flaked off - so to bring it a bit back up to scratch i was thinking of re-painting the manifolds - but dont know what to use..........?
Any Ideas...?

Cheers - Raf.

You can get red heat resistant engine paint form Halfords. I need to do mine too.

The paint is made by VHT red crinkle supplied by Frost?

Yeah, but you will need to do the whole manifold - I have the VHT paint, and it is not a perfect colour match, so I have put off doing it!

You cannot get an exact match for the STi reddy /pink sort of colour. The stuff we use is the nearest in the UK.

We sell them exchange; your old one as a swap for a freshly repainted one.

£60.00 plus carriage of £8.00 plus VAT on the lot.

Overnight service.

Call me if I can help.
