If i were to paint my exhaust and pipes with Pore 15 would it hold up? | ||

Do you plan on using regular Pore 15? Or the high temp stuff like Black Velvet or Pore 20? | ||

Wasnt for sure. My dad said i could use pore 15 on my muffler, but i wasnt for sure about the pipes because of the heat... | ||

After doing some more reading the Pore-15 has worked great on exhausts and exhaust manifolds. | ||

So do you think it will be safe to you even on the pipes? | ||

The surface on the header pipe is too smooth and get too hot. Have you considered wrapping the pipes? It's about $50 for the kit. | ||

Lol..i bought some wrap but the asstards sent me the wrong color. Im not big on wraps..but i dont have much choice unless i just buy new pipes. | ||

What about this? http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/5015.html Although I would never want to pull my headers, it always ends up with surgery on the header studs. | ||

the black satin sounds like its right up my alley. | ||

Beware the black satin finish as it tends to radiate a LOT of heat. The shiny silver metalic finish doesn't. I had the black done and the header radiated heat so much that I ended up wrapping the headers anyway. I don't know if mine were done in "satin" though. They were a fairly flat black from Jet Hot. If heat is an issue, radiated heat, the silver is the way to go for sure. | ||

Go with KBS coatings high temp coating. The same guy that made POR 15 left the company and created KBS. Their coatings are amazing for rust proofing and heat control. Erik |
