you can still get a paint that is a close match to the wrinkle red finish,

Has anyone actually used this and, better still, got any photos of the finished manifold? Does anyone know if this particular brand requires a primer? If so would it be some sort of special heat-resistant one? Any input appreciated.

2 things stand out to me in an Impreza engine bay: the TMIC and the inlet manifold, and of course the intercooler fins get bent and the inlet manifold paint flakes off, so they seem to be the 2 things that occasionally need sprucing up.
