Wire brushed and sanded my manifol down, then used metallic black manifold paint... better than rust orange.

Good choice, IMO, heh.

Looks good mate. I wonder how long it will look like that for?

make sure you stay close to home mate when you first drive it after fitting this

as the paint bakes it might start to smoke a bit
