Inlet manifolds (appearance)
<div style="text-align:left;">Hi all,<br />Some may recognise my posts. I'm slowly doing up a 78 Daimler Double Six<br />As previously mentioned the engine bay was in appalling condition. Progress is glacial but steady, I'm still not sure what I have let myself in for.<br />I have been working on the inlet manifolds which I guess are the most visible and striking feature of the engine. They now look like new. I was wondering if anyone has tried applying a light coating of clear engine enamel onto the bright aluminium castings to retain their appearance and prevent oxidisation?<br />al</div>

My intakes were glass blasted which compacts the surface and makes it less prone to discolouring. If you just polished them, then you would be cleverest to have them anodized. That will keep the surface protected from corrosion and will keep the colour the same.
