Since you have it off send it out to get hot coated. That paint doesnt last for long. Judging from the pics they dont look sanded too well. If you got them sandblasted then rattle canned them it may hold for a few months. Good time to fix those studs as well.

Keep us posted after you've run it a month like that. I've not had good luck with paint-type coatings on turbo manifolds -- they get alot hotter than N/A cars. It would be great if someone found an inexpensive coating that worked, though.

I've used and like Techline Turbo X, which is a sprayable (with a body shop jamb gun) ceramic type coating rated in excess of 2000 degrees. It's held up well so far. An 8 oz can is enough to do a manifold, turbine housing, down pipe and test pipe with some left over. It cures on the car after it dries to the touch. It costs about $50 per can. You have to have the parts sandblasted with 120 grit to give the coating a surface finish that it will adhere to. Still, it's much less expensive than some of the coating houses, and some of them use the exact same product :)
