Not too shabby, but make sure you clear coat it, to both protect it and shine it up a bit!

Not if you use the Same Hight Temp Clear Engine Enamel. I would also definately recomend it.

I like it without the clear coat on it. I like the dull look that it has. I think it looks great the way it is.

Definetly clear coat it! Over time with the elements alone would cause it to peel. Don't let all the hard work go down the drain, besides they have dull clear coat paints as well.

well, write up wasnt a good word choice. I would need to know what he did to clean it, since the manifold is pretty dirty/greasy, exact paint and primer. was it sanded before etc
