Hey guys,

I'm working on fixing up some exhaust parts on my motorcycle, but I'm not sure what to paint with.

I read on a bike forum that some people use "header paint," and one guy said he just uses black BBQ grill paint, but that sounds kind of cheesy. I was also told that ceramic coating would be good, but that's expensive, I can't do it myself, and this doesn't need to look too fancy anyway.

So I searched for header paint and found this POR-15 made stuff:
Black Velvet

Do you guys know if this stuff works pretty well?

Also, after I sand blast all the rust off of the parts, what should I use on the metal prior to painting? Regular primer wouldn't work because it's no good for high temperature, right? Can I just use Metal-Ready or something like that, and then paint?


Thanks!!!

P.S. I know this is off topic but I'm asking here because the people on the motorcycle forums didn't really know too much, and I know you guys have plenty of rust experience! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Yes it works very well, I painted a muffler using black velvet about 2 years ago and the muffler still looks like it did the day I painted in using Black Velvet.

Here's what I'm planning on fixing up first... the exhaust collector and center stand

And here are a couple more bits that could use re-finishing... I might just get them powder coated though because they're more visible.

I use the factory manifold grey and POR-20. Absolutely perfect.

I did my exhaust in BBQ paint, and even up against the turbo it still looks good. I have a tras oil leak, and The oil softened the paint up, and it is coming off. I didn't do much prep work either, hit it w/ a scotchbrite by hand, and sprayed....

And I've had terrible luck with it. It looked really good when just painted, but rust started breaking out within 500 miles. I suspect my problem was curing it. They say to bake it, but I didn't, hoping it would cure itself from the heat of the manifold. Hope you baked yours, so I know that's what I did wrong.
