I need some paint to keep my new downpipe from rusting. I tried using that 1200 deg F paint when I painted my DP last... but that just flaked off the first 12" of the pipe near the turbo (I assume it got too hot hehe).

Any suggestions? (Other than getting stainless... let me know if you find stainless mandrel bends for cheap. And no, burnsstainless is not cheap. $90 for a 3" mandrel U bend no thanks)

JetHot coating? tried that?

 

It's just a DP. I was sorta looking for something I could do myself...

 

I painted my manifold and downpipe with some barbeque grill paint. I bought it at Lowes I think. It doesn't flake off.

 

To lowes I go then...

 

header warp it, with DEI 2"

 

I have some 1500 degree farenheit paint. This is the highest temperature rating I've seen personally, but I have heard of paint that goes all the way up to 2200 farenheit. Not sure where you would buy it from.....but I'm sure that there are places on the internet that sell it.

 

Yep, I used 1500 degree paint on my manifold and it has been fine for 1000 miles. I got it at Jegs.

They make this silver ceramic paint which works really well. I used it before I got my downpipe coated. I have it in my storage room, so I can find out what it is called and let you know.

Great engine paint and manifold paint..
1400 degrees,

 

will these high temp (the 1800 degree) really hold up on a turbo manifold?

if so im going to myself cause im having my manifold coated and its not cheap!

 

Hey, is that VC powder coated or did you just use a paint product from your link? Mine looked great when I started but after a while the white just looked like crap..

 

Sorry if it doesnt work, I want to show my motor also.
this was VHT Hi temp engine enamel, the same guys that make tire softening compound for racing, good up to 1800F, must clran surface before use that leaves no oil residue.


forget it I cant figure it out
