exhaust or inlet???? basically it needs to be clean from oil and grease and all the usual gunk that you find in an engine bay before you start to paint or it wont stick dont applie it too thick or it could run and look crap  :cool:

Usually have to run engine after an hour to harden paint!
A clean and dry manifold and it will stick like *****
