2 Stroke Exhaust paint
matt.c - 3/1/11 at 02:36 PM

I need to paint the exhaust black on my Rotax Max kart .

What paint should i use?

Would prefer aerosol can spray.

The exhaust gets bl**dy hot as its a one piece 2 stroke system.

Last time i painted it the paint just burnt off when it got hot.


Any ideas?



Cheers

I've used BBQ paint on 4 stroke exhausts with some success.

not had much luck with the high temp paints on my 2 stroke exhausts they all tend to flake off eventually

What about the stuff for spraying wood burning stoves might be the same as bbq spray but worth a look

I use halfords high temperature exhaust paint (aerosol) on my scooter, seems to work a treat.

How about bluing?

Give it a good clean with steel wool then spray with wd40, gives a good finish when burned off and easy to "top up" I have always done this with my 100's, rotax and gearbox karts.
