exhaust paint

[Scotty]

saw a new R1 the other day with black exhaust headers and the rest

so continuing my neeed to paint everything if i bought some black exhaust paint how long will it last ?

[A Yerbury]

it does'nt wash off if thats what you mean! its a doddle to touch up, although I found that there is a knack to spraying pj ht paint.

[Mand]

Well if you use the correct paint, I assume it will last until you scratch it.

[Richard_S]

i could be painting too soon if I find some courage. let me know how u get on! :D

[A Yerbury]

painting with courage? courage is for a drinking, gusto is for painting.

[Richard_S]

well im either going to get painting or save up for a male silverback gorilla.

they are all the rage in the hollows of cambridge and would certainly take me to the next level. Even had some pear drops. :p

[A Yerbury]

the silverback sans females looses his girth and hue, I would say you need an entire troupe but thats monkeys not apes....a wrath of apes? an angle of apes? a confection? I'm a mandrill guy myself, blue animals rock etc.

[Richard_S]

A man with 18 monkeys on the landing need not acknowledge the existance of anything in blue shades.All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusion is called a philosopher.

btw had a slight embarrasing moment earlier. apparently tis a mature female leopard ( :eek: ) which is, according to the lord, quite a rariety. Must brush up on my cat stripes :rolleyes:

[berto]

:eek: You bought something!!!!shum mishtake shurely :lol:

[Scotty]

aint bought nuffin yet like , its taking days to work myself up for it

[Phoenix]

I had to buy some for my lads exhaust on his scooter. I kept sanding it and painting it but had to keep doing about 3 times in the year as the rust kept coming through. That was the matt black stuff from Halfords though.
It seemed to last quite well on the unrusty bits however.

[Scotty]

i scummed and bought some paint £6 the halfords gits grrrr
anyways haveing dismanteled and sanded and filed and sanded and covered all the sinks in the house with rusty scum i couldnt help but notice the welds on the inside of the headers are chokeing the inside of the pipe ive been fileing and fileing for hours am i wasteing my time or will i get a whole 0.00001 bhp extra ?

[Scotty]

observe amongst the dirt and corrosion a black exhaust
not super happy with the quality of the halfords high temp paint though marks very easy

[DesmoDog]

You know you're going to have to do the rest of the lump don't you? You can't leave it like that.

[slob]

That looks brilliant, I think I'll remove the cans from mine and see if the neighbours enjoy it as much as I know I will.

[peteS4]

am i looking at it right or does your your first pic show a washer in the downpipe on your s4 blocking flow

[berto]

:confused: Why you take photo in the fog on the tyne all mine all mine?? :burnout:

[A Yerbury]

why you that way speak?

[berto]

;) carsacm!

[Scotty]

am i looking at it right or does your your first pic show a washer in the downpipe on your s4 blocking flow

its a 50p its ment to demonstrate the before it woudnt go in and after it does

why are the welds on the inside of the pipe there but outside elswhere ?

[peteS4]

so..... does it feel any better now you have opened it out a little

[Scotty]

errm i seriously doubt it
i cant tell

[peteS4]

lol........ its ok.... if i really want more power from the pipework i'll go for a larger bore. but before that i think its a power commander first.... have been hearing good things about them if you get it done right, many garages just download a prog and say its all done, i know a guy who sets it up spot on.... adjusts the fueling every 250rpm........

[Scotty]

hummm bigger bore ? dont you loose the midrange and get top end performance ?

[peteS4]

not sure............. i run high level temis like you have in the pic....... which are just straight through bits of carbon tubes..........when you go bigger bore you lose that silly crossover bit which helps the flow.........

[Scotty]

ahh yes the crossover bit
dont like that
very hard to clean up
imsure it al rust back through there at some point
