What did you paint the Inlet manifold with? I used 'halfords' High temperature paint and it recommended I didnt need any primer... If I get a wet rag I could rub it all off... So i'm so careful when working on her as I dont want to smudge the paint...
Gonna be redoing it all soon as advise on paints etc would be great.
you can use most paints on rocker covers/inlets - all rated to around and over 100deg. Looks very nice btw - just need a spanking new expansion tank to match your washer bottle
