Anyone know of the best paint to use (just black) that can get really hot without falling off, and doesnt cost around 1 million dorrar?

ta

 

how hot is really hot?

hafords do VHT paint but not sure what the max temp is.

 

VHT Paint in aerosol from Forst Restoration mate, costs around £7 a can is shit hot!

 

Are any of the VHT paints available in a gloss finish? I looked a while ago and could only find matt.

 

Well TBH what companies rate things to and what they REALLY can do is often miles apart, hence why i asked for opinions.

Frost stuff is usually good actually, good point.

 

Get VHT laquer too if you want it glossy.

 

whats it for Exhaust manifold or something

 

wierdly i looked on another forum for an unrelated matter, and right at the top was a 22 reply thread on this very subject.

in-fact they was all painting turbine housings and manifolds!

VHT flame-proof or Duplicolor 1500 they seem to be using with no problems at all even at that sort of mental heat, as well as some using BBQ paint.
VHT flame-proof seems best.

 

i have bbq paint here mate,use it if u want

 

I used vht paint on my turbo and its been fine,just build it up with mist coats dont go mad with it and make it to thick otherwise you will have problems

 

Another option is PJ1, it's primarilly for Bikes and as such sold in Bike shops, but you dont have to bake it on and you can paint it at room temp, if it sticks to Bike manifolds then i'd imagine it would be fine for your usage... It's the best stuff I found

 

Ive never seen a paint that actually lasts on an exhaust manifold thats glowing red hot.

Got a link to the thread stav?

 

Glowing red hot, no I must admit I haven't either but I've seen the PJ1 stuff on Gixers etc and that has stayed on. i'd imagine the manifold on somin like that would get extremley hot.
