Painting hard lines for corrosion resistance


Recommended Posts

I have a 5th gen that I recently (1 year ago) replaced coolant hard lines on the turbo. I had to drop the turbo over the weekend and noticed that those year-old hard lines look TERRIBLE. I'll upload a picture later, but I went to the dealership to ask if this was normal for a non-winter driven car and (of course) they said yes.

 

I am replacing all of the oil hard lines to the turbo which is not cheap. I would like to improve their longevity, so I am wondering if there are any issues with painting them with high temperature paint like Rust-oleum High Heat Paint?

 

I also have a new exhaust manifold and would be interesting in painting that, as well.

 

Any thoughts, criticisms, or ridicule would be appreciated.

Heat cycles and crap prep/paint will get you what you have. If you clean, prep and paint well these parts they should last a few years in color form at least.
