Guest Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 I have a little Kymco Pulsar 125 with a black painted exhaust, only bought it last year but the exhaust pipe is going rusty. Obviously cant just put normal black paint on it as it would burn off. I have also tried the paint you use to paint a log burner but found that not to be waterproof. Any ideas what I should use please. Quote

Guest Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 It's probably a good idea to take the exhaust off (do they come off?) and give it a good clean, ideally strip it completely so you've a clean slate to work with. No point repainting it if the rust will be back in no time and causing the paint to come off again.http://www.sealantsandtoolsdirect.co.uk ... oCA_bw_wcB maybe something like that? Quote

RantMachine Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 I would say "and Lexmoto", but I know at least one former member of the forum is working on that so it probably isn't necessary to say anything Quote
