   got some very high temp paint designed for manifolds, just wrapped manifold, i know that eventually it will go white, but just thinking for now might spray it black what you think

   If it stays black / dark for like 6 months or longer then you can just respray it annually or something? Like before show season.
   
   As long as it wont do any harm spraying the wrap then i'd go for it!

   I sprayed my wrap silver with high temp paint. It smelt when first done but its fine now and the colour has stayed. Can't see the spray doing any harm. The wrap was £40 stuff so it'll be fine. Better than the standard copper colour anyways.
   
   Been like that for 3 months now.
