QUESTION?!!!

Anyone know if non heat paint on the twin turbo pipes, intake manifold and apexi intake pipes would be ok? its not directly on the engine but its pretty close. If it will/will not be ok would there be a benefit or issue with putting clear coat in either heat or non heat paint on the non heat paint which would be on those turbo/intake pipes?

Thanks!!

Painting them will be fine, Be sure to prep it good so paint bonds .

I used engine enamel, and a clear engine enamel

Try urethane paint... That's what my valve covers are did with and they are still fine

Well I want to paint my intakes, turbo pipes and intake mani gunmetal (like the car and the valve covers a navy blue. As all the other colours at canadian tire are not for me. and im to cheap to get them powder coated.

I painted my valve covers in spring to be gun metal but ended up as a olive grey colour...and i painted the intake and turbo pipes ripple black. but just want a change now. dont want to paint them n then have the paint not stick due to the heat.

I went to napa picked up a spray can of epoxy primer and they mixed 2 cans of urathane paint.
Mine came out really smooth
They said they have used it on a engine

Wow that looks good!! Do they have all kinds of colors? Did u spray a clear coat or no?

[cory]

Nope don't need a clear with the urathane and they can mix any color you want

Wow that turned out really well, nice job!

[Nvdgtr]

Nice! I guess i have more options.. just not sure what colour to go with...Thanks!

did you just put the valve covers back on? or have you been driving with them on for a while, if so how is it standing up?

Thx
