Exhaust paint

Post by wrinklygit »

New year,new exhaust,just replaced std s/steel system with a new old stock Harris silencer mated to a 2:1 front pipe which I had meticously painted with "Hi- cote" hi temp black exh paint which I let cure for 7 days before fitting & running motor,Approx 30 secs after start up,front pipes shed the paint like a snake sheds its skin,anyone know of a UK available exh paint that works,happy riding,Mike.

In the antique auto hobby we used to use Chromabase Stabilized Pale Gold paint. It goes on gold but turns the color of bare metal when it is heated. The only drawback is that any oil spots, fingerprints, etc. will show in the finish (after its cured) when it gets hot even if not visible when cool. I still have a bit of it around if you want the info. Not sure if it is still produced, at least here in the US.
