Painting Exaust ?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Just wondering is anyone here has had experience in painting the Exaust pipes ?

I'm on a budget but still want the bike to look good, and was wondering if it's possible to paint the primaries and muffler with regular high temp exaust paint ?

Any recommendations ?

Thanks
:devil

Thanks for the info. The problem is i'm in Canada and don't really want to start shipping my parts around. Would high heat black paint be THAT bad ?

first get some latex gloves because the oil in your hand will mess up the paint . scuff up the pipe with a scotch bright pad then paint. put your pipe back on start your motor and let it run for ten minutes or so to let it bake the paint on youl be set hope this helps

I did that to mine when I had the stock pipi and it worked pretty well. I used 1200 deg. High Temp Paint and it held up pretty well. It did start to flake off right at the header though. Might try the 1500 deg. stuff if you can find some.

You might look into a thermal barrier such as that offered by TechLine. There are other companies, but I only have experience with TechLine. The smallest can of exhaust coating would be more than enough for a quad exhaust and I think it sales for about $20. They have a website if you are interested. I think it is just techline.com.

You will need to have, or have access to a sand blaster and an airbrush. The heat of the exhaust will cure it.

If you go to www.por-15.com , they have some hi-temp (1400 degree) paints. They say they are good for headers and manifolds.

The flaking off of the paint can be related to the prep and degreasing of the part as much as the paint used, next time be extra carefull to scuff it all and get it extra clean before you paint.

Techline coatings is what I prefer. Second best that I have used is John Deere exhaust paint.

the eastwood company has high heat satin black and silver paints. they show them on car headers so i am guessin they would be good.
