Tuned Pipe paint?

[tizdaz]

Hi guys, will this be ok for my raw tuned pipe?

https://www.hammerite.co.uk/product/high-heat-paint-aerosol/

its began to rust so I want to treat it and then colour it black to add protection, this says upto 600ºC but I have no idea what temps the pies get to, I'm running an ESP modded engine with Olimat pipe for bashing mostly!

Any info much appreciated, ty

Should be fine bud, just give it a little sand, clean it with metho, or turps, let it dry & go for it
I just painted my 35 tune pipe from Taylor rc, wanted to get it chromed, but couldn't find anyone in north Queensland Australia to do it, so I painted it metallic silver, did it in vht high heat paint, only draw back with vht high heat paint, is you have to bake it in a oven

Hello, get a 800°c spray color, sand paper the pipe b4, and clean with aciton or alcohol..very easy, did it many times...

cool thanks guys! ..the paint im thinking of using is Hammerite (one in link above) as with this according to the instructions i just spray it on a few coats then its good to go (no need to oven bake etc). It states upto 600°c, will this be enough? or do i really need higher temp paint as with the others i will need to oven bake i guess which i want to avoid as the mrs wont be too happy! lol

But i will prep the surface as you mention to give it a good key & finish

ok so i bought some Simoniz VHT black spray paint (Simoniz in UK is a popular brand for Car paints/valeting polishes etc!)

I used some wire wool to remove the layer of rust, then i used some alcohol to rub down to a clean surface, then sprayed, pleased with outcome, very smooth & matt finish which is what i wanted, it still needs the final cure which will happen once fit as you have to wait a good 12-16 hours for it to completely dry before baking it, i will let the engine tick over so it cures the spray on pipe

Anyway heres a few pics of before > after ^^

Before...

You can cure it in the oven, but watch the temperature, under 100 Celsius for 20 min, I did this twice, allowing it to cool down between oven curing
Then put it out in the sun for 5 days in a row, hot days round 35 degrees Celsius, bloody hot in northern Queensland Australia
I just did a 35 Taylor pipe with vht, muck it up 3 Times trying to cure it in the oven, I followed the instructions on the can the first time, hole thing blisted , asked google for curing information, she said under a hundred degree Celsius, gave it a little run today, it blisted a little, not a hundred percent happy with vht ceramic high temperature paint , here's a couple of pics of my pipe up
It's meant to handle 1000 degrees Celsius, bloody pig ass
