i looked at the can of exhaust paint, ( header paint that goes to 2000 degrees) and it says you have to bake it on??

it aint going to fit in my oven , and i don't think i want my mechanic driving her around "baking on the paint" and he would'nt do it anyway. so, how do you do it with a y-pipe??

it's not installed yet and i wanted to put 2-3 coats on it to really protect against these crappy north east winters. also, i wasn't sure which brand to go with, i figured they're all the same when it comes to exhaust paint? thanks

 

The exhaust heat will cure it.
No oven needed.

 

the oven thing is a joke, ( duh ) but it says on the can to run it to 400 degrees, then turn off, paint again and run to 700 degrees, cool off. how the heck do you do that? i don't have a lift, so i'm guessing they think i do??

 

Why didn't you do a search before attempting this project?

 

Just let it cure once it's on the car. That's about all you can do.

 

VHT flame proof paint? There's curing instructions written on the can for both on the vehicle and off the vehicle curing.

IMO, you're over analyzing it. Paint it, slap it on, then fuhgeddaboudit

 

Couldn't you use the same caliper paint? I am pretty sure those things get up to those temps.. Last summer I painted mine with rustoleum ruse reformer about three times but didn't install yet as I am contemplating doing one coat of caliper paint.

 

your right here wiz, i do it.

 

i actually bought silver header paint that goes up to 2000 degrees, going to paint it tomorrow. will post pics after i'm done.

 

ok, did 2 coats of the silver 2000 degree header paint today, perfect day for it!!! pics

 

Looks great. Just like mine.

 

i see somebody has good taste in color!! black, yuck, silver looks dope.

 

The Moment of Truth will be once you install it and start it up!

 

yeah, i gotta warm her up and run her and do that like 3 times to bake that $hit on. no biggie, i'm off wensday and i'll be putting it on and driving around all day. ( thats if the trans will let me ) aaaannnddd i noticed where the loose metal gasket is the paint chipped off allready, wtf. guess i gotta respray the pipe again.

 

replaced y-pipe today. man it sounds better!!!! better pressure, better take off power. i did'nt realize how bad it was until i saw it off the car. all the welds were rusted to $hit amd the flex was shot. so relieved, now, i gotta do trans on friday.....
