I think jet-hot would look very similar...but no....this is a high temp textured barbecue paint that hides a lot of flaws and imperfections. Worked great.

There are 7 pics in the album..you just have to log in. I painted the entire manifold and let it dry. Then went back over it with an air tool with a very fine flapper wheel. Polished the logo nicely.

I ran it through the dishwasher to get all the assembly and machining crap off. Worked great. The girlfriend wasn't too happy I washed it in her dishwasher though.

+1

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. That or I'll just powdercoat the whole thing black so it'll be less noticeable. Again...nothing against APS. I just think it'll look really clean without it.
