Manifold refurb help .
The existing bolts and studs need replacing after 30 years of stirling use in extrem heat.I have new stainless studs and flanged nuts to e used for assembly.
I know a lot of members have done this .
But who can recomend a good VHT paint on finish. Lots in Ebay ,,but the ones i see are on other locations and in America I did look in to Eastwood but the only one i can see is silver .
I need black or cast grey .And 1000 c Can anyone help with a name of a good paint so i can sort this .
 
I've used stove paint to good effect in the past, never needed to go as high as 1000°C though.
 
Also you can buy engine enamel paint is very good I have used it to paint old Morris minor engines in green etc. Sorry can’t remember the brand but it’s available local.

Just to add, the paint I used was Thermocure, used it on my cobra sidepipes too. Rated to 650°C, not sure if that will be enough for you though.
 
I did it once with BBQ paint it looks bad it flaked off .And as this is a manifold off job to get it sand blasted and remove and replace the studs etc i need a good finished job.I dont want to get the manifold off again. Thanks for the ideas .I will go and check out the Thermocure that Toe knee posted .
