Does anyone have advice on what materials to use and/or methods on painting? Need all the tips I can get to paint my intake manifold

Degreaser, scrubbing brush, masking tape, sharp knife and what ever color heat paint you like.
These are the things you need for the job.

If your not in a rush to do it I can help you do it are the DIY day.

No rush at all. Thanks aza Will it be dry in a day though?

Should be if it's a sunny day it would be good to go in a 1/2 day.
+ the heat of the engine bay will harden the paint fully.

True! Cheers aza

How are you looking to paint it?

This is one I did for Dstocks


And my one ( still looking for a more up to date pic )

Those intakes look sweet Aza , do you know of any that have been polished or chromed

Both of them I sanded and polished.
I still have two in the man cave that I still need to finish.

Exactly like those, actually. With a blue thats just about between those two colours, in a metallic finish

For sale when finished?
Colour of choice?

Well that was the plan , but you would have to take a number as there are others hanging out for them as well.

Cheers aza! Just have to hope Ive got time off to get to the DIY day now

You can sand, polish, paint in a day?
I assume the silver is polished metal rather than silver/chrome paint.

Lol paint yes, sand, polish and paint no that is a 50 hour job.
Yes it's polished not painted metal.

You just polishing like we do with the headlights, emery paper, course to fine to finer to cutting paste to polish?

Yep that's it. I now have a sand blaster that makes the job a little faster, but I still have to add these steps in on top.

What method do you use aza as i have acquired a spare intake manifold.

Dont forget, you can also HPC coat! They do a sand blast first. I think my manifold was $100 bucks?

Kitteh was extra.
