Exhaust paint

#1 PostAuthor: Mr Bump » Fri Mar 12, 2021 1:37 pm

Good afternoon,

Has anyone got any recommendations for satin black exhaust paint? It needs to take the down pipe heat plus not flake off with yr finger like old VHT used to.

I used some wurth stuff on it last, at the recommendation of a mate and practical sportsbikes, and it was useless. Burns off of the down pipe and allows rust everywhere else. Bloody annoying as I did two different exhausts around the same time and they both did it.

Used some plasticote bbq paint on Z1000a1 brake calipers a couple of years back and it was spot on. I managed to bake them a bit with a blowtorch though. Can't see that being so easy with a whole system tho.

It's for a Harris that I can sandblast clean.

Thanks. Olly
