I have a stock turbo exhaust manifold from a 82 or 83 that I’m am currently cleaning up.

 

I noticed when I first started cleaning it that it seems to have a few patches black on it. I’m not totally positive it was paint, but I would like to paint it to “preserve” it and keep it from rusting.

 

Were the stock 82-83 turbo manifolds painted black from factory?

 

If not, should I paint it cast iron color?

 

Will be using VHT Flameproof

Don't think its black, it's like on your pic.  a good thing to do is a ceramic layer on it, costs about 125 dollar i hear.. keeps the heat out of the enginecomp.

VHT has the cast iron look paint silver.. but is not as durable ofcourse.

Original they were as on your pic i'm almost sure.
