Right, now tried to use the paint method. It didn't turn out that well maybe because I used gloss paint. I believe that it is usable though:

I am trying to figure out whether this can be a direct fit to the manifold or not. My turbocharger's flange is the opposite to cwspellowe's. In that the one bolt goes at the bottom and the two bolts go at the top. Which puts the bolt threads into the actual manifold area, which would introduce another two places to leak. I can't tell from cwspellowe's pictures whether or not the bolts he put in would protrude into the manifold area or not and if so whether it would create a potential weak spot for gases to escape.
If it won't directly bolt on then I will have to use an adapter plate which will also need me to take an impression of the exhaust manifold's flange as well.
