When it melts off, if you want to try again with high temp paint, I think it would look better to leave both tips chrome and just paint the inside section.

Plasti Dip? Bad idea! Use a hi-temp paint, like some header paint. Keep in mind, chrome is hard to paint, it will likely scrape off fairly easily.

Yep, works great. No need to prime. Just scrub the exhuast with some fine sandpaper, wipe down with some degreasing soap, and spray away. Gives a nice matte black finish and i can actually touch it after a ride without getting immediatly burned. Its good up to 1500 degrees, fairly durable, and is readily available anywhere.

Plasti Dip is good up to 312°F. I have seen people plasti dipping their car exhaust tips and so far its held up well for 6 months... never really heard of a melting story.

For the muffler. High temp paint to 500F is recommended. For the headers 1200F is recommended.

To the last two posts.... Plasti-Dipping exhaust tips is probably alright because tips don't get as hot as the rest of the pipe, so that's probably why his muffler is ok. If you try to dip exhaust pipes or headers, you'd probably be in trouble.
Glad to see it's worked out! I've still got a bunch of dip sitting around and I don't like the polished mufflers on the pregen. I might dip and see if it holds up. If it doesn't, maybe time for a new exhaust Win-win

I had the Leo stainless steel full system and it just stood out to much so I did this.
This is flat black powder coat with the $60 HF system. I have a much nicer pro level gun be shipped next week and when it arrives I'll be re-coating the can a slightly glossier flat, the stainless mounting strap as well as the two riveted straps that hold the can together will be a semi gloss gunmetal, and I debating on wether to leave the rivets black or orange to match my rotors. Powder coat on the header has about 700 miles and shows zero change in color Last futzed with by rojoracing53; January 31st, 2013 at 05:37 PM. |

wuuut? do you not ride for long periods of time? Most powder cures at about 400 degrees. 400 or ever is like rebaking it everytime. I would imagine the header gets hotter than that. If its black maybe thats why the color hasnt changed but I wonder if the properties of it changed. If over baked it will get brittle....

The can dosent get nearly as hot as the headers so normal temp powder should work just fine. Also some paints even though they cure at a set temperature will be able to withstand twice as much after they cool and completly cure. The heat acts as an activator to combine the chemicals that when combined can take the heat. |

Yeah I know the can you can do with a normal coating.
but ok using a high temp powder I imagine would work. Ive never used that before. I should look into getting some I guess. I am only allowed to get good stuff if I use our 5k powder coating machine.. lol
