I used high temp paint from Frost on my seams after they'd been welded.

Suggestion
I was considering getting my new manifolds ceramic coated - can anyone recommend somewhere that does this well, for a good price?

Suggestion
In the end the only solution I found was to get the pipes blasted and a ceramic coating applied, failing that replace them with a stainless steel set, they won't be shiny after a year but won't rot as fast.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

hi folks, has anybody painted there exhaust boxs with high temp paint and got good results, i did mine approx six months ago and now look crap, i have all removed again and wonder is there any tips for better results, regards to all
I used to paint my downpipes on a previous motorbike and it would never last the year no matter which paint I used or how it was applied. In the end the only solution I found was to get the pipes blasted and a ceramic coating applied, failing that replace them with a stainless steel set, they won't be shiny after a year but won't rot as fast.
thanks for reply, i have all cleaned and ready for paint, i may use etch primer as i think this could be problem, the last paint job flaked in places, the boxs are in fair shape but will need replacing in the near future, i also have manifolds off, once again thanks
I used high temp paint from Frost on my seams after they'd been welded. It seems to have all but disappeared. Very disappointing! Sorry not to be of more help.
I think you are onto a loser here guys, the paint fails because of the expansion and contraction of the thin metal under heat cycles, not because of the heat itself.
Also the seams rot from the inside out, so painting the outside won't make them last longer.
I know I keep bleating on about it but why would you spend the time messing around removing your boxes and painting, then refitting them over and over when a set of Stainless steel either sports or mild sports boxes from Topgear are only £400 after the 10% forum discount and these come with a lifetime you own the car warranty, Do it once to it right IMO . :grin: :thumb: :thumb:
and anyone who can wait a couple of months Topgear have indicated another group buy will be done after the success of their last one , 100 units sold to forum members . This will either be 15% discount or if the numbers are enough I think it was 25 or more units last time up to 20% discount so your looking at £360 . its a no brainer :grin: :thumb: :thumb:
Etch primer won't help because it isn't high temp (unless there is an HT version).
It is supposed to work better if you heat the metal first before painting to reduce the effects of the "stretching" as mentioned above.
Or you could just go with Phil's suggestion and get your wallet out - who'd have thought that would be his plan :grin:
:floor: :floor: :floor: I guess some have spare time but not spare cash and are happy to tinker thats fine if thats what you enjoy. personally I would rather be driving it than tinkering with it but each to their own :grin: and I did point out the future group buy so I see myself saving guys money :dont know: ISH in a sort of strange man maths way :floor:
