Guest Exupnutta Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 VHT... Very High Temperature paint, available from all good motor factors. About £10 a can I think (not bought any recently) You will have to do a very good job of cleaning it though and maybe rub it down a bit with light grade wet and dry.

HTH Olli Or go to Wilkinsons and buy some plasti-kote BBQ paint, its good for 425C and cheaper than exhaust paint, although its the same stuff really. Having used many different exhaust paints over the years, I find this is as good as any of them. Have a look at my bike in Gallery to see how it looks, 1979 DT175MX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
