most of those barbeque paints are only rated to about 1200 degrees F... which is fine for most barbeques . The manifold temperature on a turbo can surpass 1200.

ok..i got my t25, its in excellent working condition, but the hot side is all brown......now i cant afford to jet hot coat it right now, so is it a good idea to paint the hot side with like 1200 degree paint? all i want is black, and i know it wont make the underhood temps go down any, but it will look better anyways...what do you guys think?

If you buy the good VHT cermic stuff and sandblast the housing to get off all the rust, then apply thin coats and cure it excatly like the intructions, it will last for a while.
If you spray right over the rust and go, it will burn off pretty quick.

it woudl be cheaper to get it powdercoated... well. maybe not.. but after paint, install, uninstall paint (3 months later) and over and over and over again.. the powdercoat will start to look very nice

Powedercoat is not heat resistant, it will instantly bun off.

What Mike said. There are a very few paints that have a tolerance high enough to stay with the kind of heat generated by the turbo. That's why I recommened that he go for a ceramic coating, which will take away the rust color that he dislikes and also provide for some protection from the heat generated by the turbine.
