Manifold finishes....?

[Nosh]

I am about to replace the current manifolds with a de-precatted pair and would like to know the various options I have for cleaning them up before installing them.

I should say I will have my 'Clive Y Piece' soon, so will keep the standard 'bolted' and catted exhaust, just in case I decide to revert or sell....

Any ideas?

Thanks
Nosh

get ceramic coating on them before u put them on, will stop them from heating up the engine bay

I've just put some pictures on the chim fb page of mine. I had them lightly grit blasted then sprayed them up with black then aluminium vht paint from halfords.

I've sprayed close to three cans on each manifold as I've been told that it may start to flake off if its done lightly. The main cat is next to be done.
