Heat resistant paint

probably been done to death, has anyone had experience with paint that will resist the heat on mufflers, I want to improve the appearance of the hotdogs on the buggy and the one I tried didn't go any where near doing the job.

i have used pot belly black twice with good results but it doesnt stop corrosion though.......

but there is a company over here in perth called phoenix paints, they are water based, easy clean up and they have a paint called metalfix that is a fire retardant primer that is designed to go on rusted surfaces.it converts rust into a metal phosphate.can handle temps over 40 deg to 1000 deg...and can paint over with any topcoat as it is redy orange....

u can even paint a panel which needs welding then do the welding after....anyways my mate swares by them.... www.phoenixpaints.com.au

laters..........

High Octane Racing at Rydalmere (same as what Bizarre has recommended). Speak to Nathan and tell him Craig Torrens sent you.

i have found the best method to paint exhuasts is to sandblast the exhuast then to spray with heat proof paint from a rattle can, and give it a few good coats

matt

I did the same and it worked well.

I sandblasted, prepwash (wax n' grease remover)

Then light coat of VHT flameproof, then 4 heavier coats.

Ran them to cure the silica/ceramic paint.

😁👍

just need to really clean the mufflers first...

then use high temperature muffler paint...

I have had good results...

if it peels off the first time... do it again...

I have used the POR15 high temp paint in their velvet black. Looks really good and is performing quite well so far. (10,000kms on the bus)

yes por15 apparently make the best paints in any form 🙂
