My ls6 intake manifold will be here on tuesday and I would like to paint it. My question is, what is the best way to go about doing this??? I have some 500+degree high temp engine paint and some "clear coat" too. Can i just start spray painting away and then add some clear coat?? easy as that??

Thanks for the help/pointers.

Here is the thread.

 

A few people have done it before, there was a good thread going on about it before, do a search and try to locate it, it has a lot of good info.. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Thanks for the Thread, but that Thread does not offer any "pointers" as to how I should paint it. Someone asked in that thread "Do u have to sand anything or just paint" and he never got a response. It DOES show some nice pictures of ls6 painted manifolds though.

I would appreciate any kind of feebback and am doin a search right now... <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

 

I painted mine with the factory GM touch up spray paint to match the pewter. I just used simple green to clean it, dried it, then put on 5 light coats.

No concerns about temp considering the intake stays below 120 degrees and considering your exterior paint can reach higher than that in direct sunlight, Im not concerned.

Pewter,
thats what im lookin to hear!! So how long has your painted manifold been on the car? Does it look just as good as when you painted it from Day 1?
