repainting intake manifold
As per usual the red paint on the intake manifold is all flaking off.
I would like to remove it and have it repainted. a) is it a difficult job to remove it. The engine is not in the car at the moment. b) any ideas who would paint it for me. Cheers Brendon |

Make sure you get the correct crinkle paint or it will look like shit, wire brush all the old flaking paint off & clean it with prepsol so there is no grease, I never used primer & don't think you need to with this stuff but you MUST leave it out in the sun between coats to dry or it will not crinkle properly, mine's done about 15,000ks & still looks good & it's been cooked once, if you are going to strip it yourself take lots of good photos so you get all the wires, pipes & hoses back the corect way, it's easy to forget.

thanks for the info guys. Are there any gaskets that need to be replaced when you carry out this operation?

VHT Wrinkle Paint in red is almost exacty the same paint used on the STi manifolds and will give you the same finish.
