Degrease it all then use some of Halfrauds high temp silver paint. Its like a powder that bakes on in the heat and looks like new when done Wink

I used this on my old escort back in the day - sprayed the inlet & exhaust manifolds and it NEVER dried - was like tacky-gloss

Sure it was the same stuff? Did you put it on thick? Just did a few light coats to cover it and it was fine. Doesnt just dry like a paint would. If you rub it firmly, a little would come off on your hands but just like a dusting, its not tacky or glossy at all Suspect

Not glossy at all just feels like Orange peel Shocked

Its lemon peel not orange peel Wink

alloy wheel cleaner m8 works every time

Gunk is perfect for de-greasing the engines - Just brush it on & hose it off.

Cheaper alternative is Kerosene - Does exactly the same.
Just watch out for the very flammable puddle that it leaves - best done outside - need your garage for the next techday. bom
