Hey folks- did a search on the site before posting, to no avail, so i apologize if this has been discussed before.
Just recently acquired a sparingly used 1999 STI V (GC8) with a very cool 30k Kms on the clock.
Everything is in great condition, but the intake manifold paint is well on its way out, most of which has peeled off.
I believe High Temperature (Aluminum) paint is the remedy.
Questions:
1. Any Brand in particular i should use?
2. Any do/don't for repainting the unit- i heard that once painted, the manifold should be 'baked' as a normal paint should be- is this safe, in terms ensuring that the manifold is not damaged?
Thanks
