Default Painting Inlet manifold

Had it off stripped and clean and shiney

Does it need to be done with high temp paint

And any recommendations as to colour and method.

I am very tempted and would prefer this but it will go dull unless i have it polished.

Better than unsightly flakey red paint as you see on some.

Glow in the dark green.
Go on, it would be a one off.

And no you won't need high temp paint, just don't be shy when applying paint.

Samco blue looks nice and was planning on a full samco hose set, just not sure if it might be a bit too much blue under the bonnet.

Any pics of it on the car.

Yeh i'm really leaning towards gold now, as the wheels are gold and i do like to be different, wish my mate still had his gold plating machine, now that would look seriously cool gold plated inlet manifold..

Thanks for the pics.

It's not an Impreza but here's what I did with my old GTI-R.





Was completely standard when I got it and I wanted to be a bit different.

Thanks matty just pulled the thread back and saw your pics, i did it in gold today as it happens found some chrome style gold paint so it looks like real gold, mega bling and looking good, they also have chrome and i'm thinking about doing the block,heads and cam covers while it's in bits might as well
