<< I need some advice. I'm getting ready to paint my TR3 engine. The exhaust

satin black stove paint and put a coat on it. The paint is good to 1000
degrees. What to you think? Anybody Know how hot an exhaust manifold gets?
We're talking normal driving.

Am pretty sure no paint will stick to a rusty manifold. If you sandblast it
you'll get much better results no matter what kind of paint. I have tried a
few kinds of paint and find that nothing lasts very long on a manifold.
Although there may be something out there that does.
