Exhaust Manifold or intake manifold ?
if it's for an exhaust manifold even if it could be done powder won't hold the temp. why not ceramic coating? if it's for an intake manifold why not powder it ? |

It's not the temperature I'm looking for, it's the color. I'm building a Cobra and I painted the side pipes with the manifold paint because it matches the aluminum on my wheels. I want my roll bars to match so I was thinking about using the manifold paint and then putting clear powder over to add some durability.
The manifold paint is good to 2000 degrees and must be cured to a relatively high temperature anyway. I'm looking for a polished aluminum color and haven't seen a powder in this color. |

a picture will work better , polished aluminum looks almost like chrome
and that paint it's a brush or spray paint I don't think it's possible it matches polished aluminum . so in order for it to match you must have like a dull aluminum or anodized aluminum . if this is right you might want to look for chromex ceramic coating wich you can polish to you liking or xtreme chrome powder with clear wich turn to like a reflective silver. anyway if that paint works to 2000 deg it must be a ceramic based paint and the last time I tried to powder over ceramic it bubled up awfully. it might have been something wrong I did or it might just not work , never tried it again. still it would be a good project for you to try and let us know. |
