Red crackle paint ( inlet manifold )
I've been hunting high and low and talking to people about the red crackle paint but some say krypton or VHT but apparently they come up quick orange looking
Can anyone help point me in the right direction ?
Or even pics of what you've done to get the right colour

Not heard of krypton paint but VHT stuff is really good. Don't forget you have to let it cure.
What paint colour are you after original classic or newage.

It takes time to cure thats why it looks a different colour. Not sure how long it takes to get to the proper colour but if its in the engine bay it should be getting enough heat.
Also the classic and newage are different colours. Not sure who does the classic one off the shelf but if your open to the newage colour you should be able to get that. If you were to powder coat can you get the textured effect not sure but never looked into it.

I used VHT wrinkle plus red recently, it went on looking great and nice and deep red, a week later after being on the car it was bloody orange. It's a pita removing the manifold twice..

The powder coating will obviously last the test of time but like others are saying dunno if the texture comes out right

The crackle on the powder coat is actually dependant on the amount of powder applied, I imported some from USA a while back, cost a bloody bomb then got fcuked by import tax on top.

Found out something new lol thought with powder coating you could only get the smooth finish.
It might be worth speaking to a few places and see if they can do yours with the colour you are after then.
