That looks good - how did you clean the manifold before painting?

Both items were put in a parts wash,steam cleaned(inside and out),thourghly wire brush cleaned(this took the longest amount of time in the process),steamed again,pre-paint prepped(twice),2 coats of etch primer and 3 coats of wrinkle finish.Then heated in an oven i made up because they wouldnt fit in my house oven!

Ribs and BMW logos sanded after baking using various grades of wet and dry.
The only things i masked were hose connections/studs/intake holes/injecter seatings etc.The whole process took a while to complete as i work some stupid hours,but well worth the graft in the end imho.
Again,thankyou for the comments
