ok i want to paint my turbo...the compressor side is polished so what do i paint the other half with? is there a paint that won't flake off at high heat???

thanks alot!!!

 

your turbo gets really hot... unless you get it jethot coated (orsomething like that) it's going to burn off.

 

Brake caliper paint? BBQ paint? Engine block paint? no? ?

 

get some temp that can with stand some high temps, but why would you do this if its going to be tucked away under the car?

 

VHT Flameproof paint found at NAPA. I did my manifold an down pipe and it's holding up great. I got the silver kinda looks like a ceramic coating. I would have done the turbine housing but I was too impatient. I didn't have the turbo for 2 month and when it came in I wasn't going to wait to paint it. Anyway, good paint!

 

i used aircraft flame retardant paint good for about 2300 degrees!!!!

 

Pretty much most of the over the counter paint will flake off with that kind of heat. Even having it jethot coated wears away on the turbo after time.

there are few coatings that will last at 1500f-1800F for extended lengths of time.

 

Is there such a thing as 2300 degree paint? Where do i sign up?

 

i used some engine paint thats good for 1200 degrees, we will see how long it lasts.

 

I use this stuff on everything. It hasn't flaked, faded, or peeled yet...
