painting pipes?

Post by KINGÔäó »

Do i just grab heat resistant paint and paint over my PG Long?
and for the surface rust what type of sand paper should I use.
I really don't want to mess this up so if there are any tutorials on how to setup and paint correctly that would be very helpful 8)

Take it off the bike hit it with a wire wheel on the end of a drill gun and buzz over it all then get some sort of heat proof exhaust paint in mat black and you cant mess it up

rustoleum makes a grill paint that is supposed to be good over 1000 degrees. I used it on my exhaust and it has lasted for over a year so far. it is a gloss black. Polishes up really nice with rubbing compund afterward.

X2, that is the right stuff to use, it is just not available at every corner store.

As well, VHT flame-proof paint works well. I used the VHT flame proof primer first.
