inlet manifold
 

just would like to know if it is possible to spray the inlet manifold to another colour without taking it off?

thanks x

No

Yes.

Spray the entire engine, it will look fab. :thumb:

Yep its fine doing it that way, post some pics up when your done.

lol i will have to remove my nails first

Cool, what colour are you gonna go for, pink would be a great choice. :)

omg is he tryna be sexist:Suspiciou i was think more of a "blue" :p

just sprayed my spare set of manifolds in oe wrinkle red, but seriously crossed my mind cookstar doing them in cerise (sti pink) what do you reckon???

Ps i'm i straight male lol

you will have to take it off , some previous owner sprayed mine (i guess) on the car and it looks ****

looks like i have to give it to someone so it can be sorted, i wudnt want me getting my hands dirty

its not hard tbh

What is the colour code for the inlet manifold OE wrinkle red? Where did you get yours from? I presume it was an aerosol can. Did you use any (special) primer? I want a job that will last a few years rather than just flake off again.

not to hard hey, maybe u can give me an example then x x lol

ok, remove the electrical bits from it, unbolt it, clean it, paint it, buy and fit new gaskets, refit the manifold and bolt it down, put the electrical bits back on, site back and admire your work.

hmm seems easy but no ways can i open the bolts lol....would i also need high temprature sealent?

:luvlove:

a place called car builder solutions (google it), yeah is an aerosol, didn't bother with etch prime cause it had already been shot blasted.

Purple?

done mine myself look's ok , not asgood as the wrinkle stuff but im impatient lol not bad for under a tenner .

can you strip the paint off them and polish them?

now that would look good, if you had a spare 5 million years to polish it properly.

open bolts with a spanner if they are proud, or with an allen socket if the are recessed, can't remember which they are as its been a while.
No sealent needed as your going to put two new gaskets in there (1 each side, available from the dealer network).

Or, pay up the £150 or so it would cost to get someone to do it for you.

I had mine powder coated blue, will get some picsup if I get home before it gets dark

Banny

powder coating is not an easy thing to do right?

if you're not prepared to spray then I very much doubt you could powder coat.
