Anyone know of any GOOD heat resistant paint? Spray on and it's for the cat section of my exhaust on the r1 so it will get hot.
I don't want cheap stuff that will start to flake off.

Thanks

Best paint I have ever used on exhausts....

Never flaked, never burnt off, never discoloured.

Smells funny for about 3 days though, even when it's dry.

You get what you pay for Wink

Admittedly I haven't used pj1 for exhausts, but have used it for some engine casings. Worked well enough but when you've used something before and know it works then you tend to stick with it if you know what I mean.

I have painted a dr650 downpipe, two jeep grand cherokee cats with the flameproof and it's also on my saab turbo now (inc. the turbo downpipe) and I stand by my choice as I doubt you'll get much hotter than that Thumbs Up

Nixon is on the money, make sure you prep it right or whatever you put on will just flake off.

I used the silver on the dr exhaust, don't have many clear pictures but I have a short vid when I changed the exhaust round etc. Scan through to 0:21 seconds to see the finish on the header.

Prepped and painted two weeks before the stubby scorpion went on and this was the fourth start up and run up to full temp, with 3 road runs. Still as bright as when it first went on.

I'm assuming that you mean take it back to bright metal and don't put anything on it except the high temperature paint. If not, can you please clarify?

Exactly that, don't leave any rust or greasy residue on it. After knocking mine back as best I could I then went over them with thinners (because I had some) and a clean white cloth so I could check what was coming off the pipe. Once I was satisfied it was clean I left it to dry so that no thinners or residue was left, gave it one final wipe with another clean cloth and proceeded to paint.

Worked for me on more than one occasion Thumbs Up
