Personally i woudln't use that stuff.

From Deamon Tweeks motorsport catalogue you can geta produxct called satin black, this is a brush on manifold paint, which as well as painting the manifold have the same effect as wrapping it, ie reducing the temps given off

Get a gas heater in there coops and you'll be sorted. It just the air cant be cold or damp. Paint wont give such a good finish if its cold or damp!

Why not take the fanimold into the house to spray and cure like gibbo said?

Worth it i'd say! :wink:
