Intake Manifold Finish

Unread post by hondo100 » November 14th, 2020, 7:48 pm

Just finished bead blasting 3 layers of paint off the intake manifold. Should I repaint it? What color? Or should I use one of the finishes from Eastwood like the electroplating?

Personal preference. Original would have been black for later models and green for A1 and earlier. But it is your so whatever you want.

It's a manifold...not a chandelier.

High temp engine paint.

I don't know, I kind of think gold electroplate would look nice. :mrgreen:
