Hi

Can anyone recomend a company that could smooth down an inlet manifold? It doesn't need to be fully polished, just smooth as a baby's bum ready for paint/dipping.

Thanks
Gez

Not that you're saying about powder coating, but beware.......

I remember reading this. My current manifold was ceramic coated by Zircotec (probably best in the business) I've got an idea, fancy something a bit different.

I've got no idea who did that guys manifold but they should be shot

A high build 2k primer will bury the rough finish and once flattened will be lovely and smooth. Use an etch primer to start with though being aluminum.
I've done a few painted inlet manifolds.

Thanks for the reply, it's got to be bear metal. No primers etc as its gonna be either dipped or coated

Why are some of the old TMIC's mounted at such an angle?
