I've seen quite a few engine pictures here where the engine and exhaust manifolds are the same color. I have yet to find an engine ( high heat, spray can ) paint like the custom colors I see here. Are you guys just using a single stage paint like PPG or Imron? If so how does it hold up to the heat on the manifolds?

Manifolds are water cooled -

Yes that is what people use. The paint will peal off the manifolds just near the exhaust after time.

I realize that, they still get pretty hot.

any quality base/clear or single stage paint will work just fine..

appreciate the replies!

I use Dupont Centari acrylic enamal. Make sure to use a resperator, it's nasty stuff to breath.

Powder coat them. Did my headers 8 years ago. The other parts I did this winter.
