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?

maybe...i dunno, ive never used the stuff.....i only coat mine. i think the paint only costs about $5 so it would be a cheap test. take it off and hit it with some scotch brite or a wire wheel to remove the rust, then paint it.
ok...so there are no negative effects that could happen, right? like it starts to smoke or some shit? i dunno...i guess ima paint it...haha thanks

Only negative thing I can imagine is the paint vaporizing. Just get the turbo ceramic-coated. Its like a white "paint" that keeps heat from disseminating too much from the turbo.

like i said, im not too interested in heat dissipation at the time being...only to get rid of the nasty ass brown stuff...ill ceramic coat when i get the money....

I hit the hot side of my turbo with some high temp paint. it will smoke a little at first as the paint cures... but it should be alright after that. The paint will last for a while, but will eventually burn off.

ceramic coating won't last long on a turbo. Hell, look at the HS manifolds after a month or two....it's magnified on turbos.
Either a JET or HPC coat are the best/only options....maybe swain.

the nasty brown stuff is called "rust" its what happens when metal (or cast iron in the case of the exhaust housing) oxidizes and rusts.

LOL! We don't have to get that basic now, do we?
Anyway, I was always under the impression that ceramic coating lasts as long as Swain coatings, only that its a cheaper alternative and not as effective as Swain. Hmm, always something new to learn. Thanks for your input on that though.

HAHAHAHA...mike acts like he understands about this rust situation, but with all that "rust" under his hood, i thought maybe he didnt hahaha...jk mikey boy...ill paint your manifold and turbo at the same time of you want....HAHAHA
