ok the rust stays then. im still going to paint the inside though as i dont want it rusting at all. also paint might block off any tiny air holes :P

should have this finished next week and ill start on the exhaust mani. its getting wrapped in heatproof tape. dont convince me otherwise. topmount turbo btw

Do not paint the inside!

it will come off go through your engine and ruin it. treat with por15 metal ready or some other phosphoric acide type stuff then use fish oil or some waxy grease on the inside. moisture shouldnt be a problem inside there anyway so after taking those two measures of proctection rust should not be an issue. there shouldnt really be an significant amount of moisture in the intake to cause rust anyway, e.g. heaps of old cars ran cast iron manifolds - it would only be if left for years and moisture allowed to get in there that rust could be a problem.

nah like a tradezone type store or maybe a paint and panel shop. but also note I mean metal ready, which is the the prep stuff for por 15 rather than the por 15 paint. its basically some kind of phosphoric acid/zinc etching stuff and puts a reasonable zinc barrier or something like that on bare metal. stops it from going rusty as long as its kept dry.
