Exhaust manifolds can reach 900C or more, use a Hi-temp paint rated for this application. or, use pot belly black.
Use it on the zorst too.
You could get the manifold ceramic coated but it costs $$$.

For a start the head, block and gear box shouldn't be any hotter than your thermostat - about 88*C - so less than boiling water. Any reasonable exterior paint should do -or use a paint for metal as it's designed to withstand a bit of expansion and contraction. |

Thanks for the answers guys i will be using high heat paint but noticed they have a few temprature ranges so wanted to get the right ones. The exhaust i picked up already is painted black and i have no idea if it was heat paint or not so looks like i will be sanding it off and painting it as im guessing if the other paint is not heat paint it would peel off. Cheers Bill |
