Josh, did you use hi-temp paint on the manifold or does it matter?

**01SOMSS!** · 09-05-2008, 01:06 PM

yeah use hitemp to be safe. it can blemish in the future

When you come down to Oregon we can paint mine.

ahaha, im about to do my LS6 Manifold Gloss Black

yea his manifold looks great in person too!

**JoshieDoom** · 09-11-2008, 12:50 AM

Still calling up local junkyards for an ls6 or maybe a fast. If I didnt have all those 400000 bolts from the coil packs on the 98s I would have done this already. Looks good!

I think the manifold looks better when its another color besides black but gloss black comes out pretty good... If i had to redo it over again... i would sanded a little more on the intake... but hey it came out good and i love the color of the 2... kinda jumps out at ya
