Can i paint/spray my heatshield that covers my manifold with heatproof paint? I'm thinking maybe some paint from a fireplace store?

You can get high temperature exhaust manifold paint from Halfords. Been thinking of doing the same with mine as it looks a messy

Very clrean that! Loving it, I painted mine using BBQ paint but it looks rubbish compared to the high temp stuff you have used

that is very nice marcus, unfortunately i can't afford/justify powdercoating something so small lol.

AlexB - did you use spray hamemrite or paint it on?
