Has anyone ever used it? My brother painted his exhaust manifold to smarten things up after an engine rebuild, but the stuff burnt off after a few miles!!  It was supposed to be heat resistant but wasn't up to the job. Is any of it any good? Or should I just have rusty manifolds?!  |

I've heard a few cases of it burning off, but as far as I know the plain black high temperature stuff should be alright, but I could be talking curse word again! ;D ;D

i have had the same problem before, it burns off and smells terrible.
i cleaned it all off and used bbq paint from a diy place, it worked for a month or so the came off aswell but it was only a thin coating.
maybe a few coas might do the trick?

Thanks for the replies! I'll have a look around and see what's on the market. It's at the end of a very long "to do" list but it's good to know what to look for! |

I read a tip in a very old copy of 'Practical Classics' about using tyre paint on manifolds...... Please note: I cannot be held responsible if you car stinks and/or bursts into flames.... ;D |

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down  and that's not really the car's fault. |
