Lightbulb Paint turbo exh. manifold?

I havea aftermarket exhaust manifold. looks like HKS LOG but its all rusty. i was wondering if could use this paint?

or will it just crack? would it be a good idea to wrap the manifold instead?

First, thats not paint.

Second, no high temp paint will last very long on a manifold on these cars, regardless of how hard you push it or not. Just too much heat for something out of a rattle can.

Third, wrap will help keep the heat in the exhaust manifold where it belongs, and will aid in turbo effciency. Do it

I have my exhaust jet hot coated. The black 2000f coating looks great and works awesome! I want to eventually get the LIM, hot side of the turbo done as well.
