Exhaust painting/coating.

Post by shelltoes »

Anyone know of a way to paint my exhaust? Noting fancy just black. So-called heat-proof paints burn off within days. The powder coaters said they could do it but it would melt and look crap, and they didn’t know about ceramic coating. Anyone got a suggestion? Thanks.

How about black 'stove' paint as used for fire grates, barbeques, etc ?

Might be worth a try...

I sprayed mine with VHT paint and it's stayed on.

The best would be ceramic coating. The best DIY product I found was Halfords own!

Anyone have any direct feedback on Zircotec near Oxford for ceramic coating?

I have my BAS system to be coated once I get a centre-exiting oval pipe fabricated instead of the slashed single pipe, and they're reasonably local to me.

Thanks

Simon
