Default What paint for inlet manifold, intercooler pipework?

I'm guessing you cant get away with normal spray paint.

So what needs to be used?

I want to paint my inlet manifold for now and possibly intercooler piping in future, what would you advise?

You can use normal paint , you just need to use a etch primer so the paint will stay on and not flake of , hope this helps

We have them powder coated, it looks great and doesn't chip or flake off.
