Hi All,
Will be painting the original factory exhausts soon. What do you guys recommend as best heat resistant satin black paint that looks factory-ish?
Also, the cans have seen better days so may need to be fettled and painted too. Satin silver heat resistant. Again any suggestions gratefully received 👍🙂
Cheers,
Simon

I got mine done in cerakote. Came up a treat. The cerakote looks great. I understand that to be a heat resistant ceramic coating. May I ask approx how much those cost to cerakote? Pm if like. |

The satin metal protection paint from Lidl (Bauerfix?) is brilliant.
Lovely finish that is petrol resistant and has lasted years on my bikes. Cheap and no need to bake either.

Gives a good durable thicker finish. |
