Hello, I've seen a few people spray their turbo manifolds with copper gasket spray so I gave it a shot on the cast one that's going in my car. I'm just wondering how well this holds up over a longer period of time. Right now I think it looks great, but if anyone knows please let me know. Thanks!

I did it years ago when I had the star manifold, it does turn a really like gunmetal color, and it lasts fairly long suprisingly.

Wow copper spray that you use for head gaskets does that? It actually doesn't look bad at all.

Lol I had to use this stuff today to do my exhaust manifold gasket and used it on the turbo gaskets as well. Has anyone else noticed that this stuff smells like absolute ASS? Good god I'd rather lay in a pile of manure than smell it again

On another note.. I used black BBQ grill paint on my manifold and it looks GREAT.. for now. We'll see how it holds up.

BBQ paint will last about 20 miles, lol. I tried that on a DP, and it just burned off the first 25-30" or so, I can't imagine what it'd do to a manifold or a turbine housing.

Maybe I got a different kind of paint but I just checked it today (after ~100 miles of driving) and its still good
