I remember reading about some spray, maybe a gasket spray, that some people were spraying on their manifolds to make them look a little better. sorda went on copper, then heated up to a dull gray color? i tried the search and found nothin. thanks for any help. www.TeamKLR.com 1997 Silver RS Wiseco 10.5 Pistons Eagle Rods T3/T4 Turbo Custom FMIC Greddy Exhaust 440's

I use 1500* barbeque paint. Works well and holds up to the heat. After a few months, ends up the same subtle grey as the copper spray.

What's with you and barbeques Dino?
Anyone heard of the Star kits coming with a silver painted manifold? I got this one from someone on the board but another person said they got a replacement from Wyatt and it came silver.

that copper spray eh? i bought some when i put my headgasket on cuz the goofy instruction told me to buy some kinda mopar gasket sealer. so what will it look like when it burns grey? NE1 got a picture of it burned?
hmm that silver star manifold looks polished, because the inside of the turbo flange is all shiny, I'm going to polish my star manifold b4 i put it back on its kinda rough since I port and polished my head might as well get everything as smooth as possible , doesn't need to be ported though the star manifold has way bigger ports than the head.
I can spray the copper stuff on the flanges too huh, help it seal better? I bought that big ol can might as well make some use out of it.

i think dougie2 did something with the copper spray about a months ago when he was doing his rebuild. he might be able to post some pictures. or maybe it wasn't him. anyways, after it's all burnt off it looks a dull gray color, kind of like what my HRC manifold looked like when it was brand new.
i painted my exhaust manifold and turbo with 1200 degree exhaust paint and it started burning off within 5 minutes of starting it up for the first time. most of it has burnt off, but it's still a dull gray color. i think it still looks kind of nice.
i might be able to post a picture of what it looks like now sometime this weekend when i get access to a digital camera. my method sort of worked, but it's not the best for making exhaust components not look like rusty death. i probably should have gone with dino's idea or the copper spray.
