matt black exhaust paint

[TStanb]

I am considering sanding down and painting my stainless downpipes. What is the recommended paint treatment programme? Someone mentioned "Zebo"? or "Zibrite"? before.

..... Or what about Halford's high temp matt black, etc, etc....

I have used the Halfords and it seemed OK.

You could try the method of old used engine oil painted on to hot exhausts.

It gives a lovely blued finish and if done regularly builds into the nicest finish ever.

I did it on my old FF, it is cheap and gives off clouds of noxiuos (!!!!!) fumes so no down points.

I have always had excellent results with PJ1 high temperature paint.
I warm in front of a fire or use a heat gun on low setting to get the pipes warm and when you spray it dries almost instantly and you can be fairly sure there was no moisture on the metal and it seems to stick ok once bike is used.

+1 on the PJ1 paint. Remember the devil is in the details. Good preperation makes for good paint.

I use black BBQ paint and seems to be pretty good - you can guarantee it will take the temperature! Lol

In NZ 'High Performance Coatings' is the go.

I'm sure it'll exist in UK or similar. Way better than paint of any sort.

I used the same paint I use on my log burner seems quite good

There are special purpose high temp paints for stainless steel exhausts, not sure what the difference is between painting stainless steel and painting ordinary exhaust steel.....
