Tango Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 You will need exhaust paint.....high temp! It doesn't normally have a undercoat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megawatt Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 If you're sure that's what you want, you should rough up the stainless first so the paint sticks to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 they arent stainless mega yeah you will have to clean them up really well and use a exhaust or BBQ paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin the Bear Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 VHT Very high temperature. Now if that was "It does what it says on the tin" stuff you should be able to ride the bike through a star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't use a synthetic brush, it'll melt in the tin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
