I was going to paint my new inlet manifold (For MY98 WRX) using the crackle paint but was wondering about using 2k paint.

Any thoughts?

I will be using spacers (from Carl Davey) so heat will be down, hopefully.

 

get it powder coated, my fiat coupe rocker cover is costing my £10, you'd be supprised how cheap it is

 

Powder coat or slap on some hammerite type paint, it will last longer..

2K paint is for bodywork.
