VVC inlet manifold
Can you paint them or will it blister?
If anyone has done, can you pop a photo up. Cheers Simon

Hi Simon,
I had one painted professionally, but never got round to fitting it. I'm sure it wouldn't blister though. The plenum gets warm but not hot as such, and the original ones were painted black. Thinking about it, my painted one is still in my shed, along with another complete manifold

I did mine with standard base coat and two pack lacquer, it's been on a year and still looks great, I'll get a photo in the morning.
