Paint For Rusty Exhaust

[kata_killer]

ultimax: Usually, I do 3 coating or 4. The more coating, the longer it will last...

I only put 1 coating. the paint will wear off after sometime.

Quite difficult to spray at the top end.

To prevent rusting of exhaust pipe, I found the following to be the best preventive measure:-

Upon getting a bike (best if new), dismantle the exhaust. Next pour motor oil into the exhaust and shake it. Pour out the excess oil. Assemble back the exhaust. Then take the bike for a long fast ride. This is to heat up the exhaust. The oil in the exhaust will then form a hard layer of protective carbon inside the exhaust. In this way the exhaust will last a long long time (> 5 years). However, take note that this method will create a lot of smoke in the beginning so beware of the TPs.....

And oh, the above mentioned method is not recommended for 2-stroke bikes and scooters!!!! Cos it will clog up the exhaust!!

Hey Kata, May I know where can I buy this "can" of spray? what brand?

Thanks man.

[ultimax]

If your bikes are like mine, the gasket is actually high-temp sillicone paste. You can buy a tube of it from most hardware stores for abt $6 i think . Make sure it's high-temp sillocone!

 

As for the high-temp spray, you can get it from a bikeshop or a hardware shop. Even Handifix has it...but it's really pricey there. $11 a can for the RJ brand.

gsxxer: Roughly tat price... Remember, dun buy and use the glossy high temperature spray. Use d normal high temperature spray can liao.

all respectable spray paint brands have some kind of high-temp paint, usually in matt black, for obvious reasons

 

any hardware shop should have. but for exhaut headers, dun really need to bother, the rust will definitely come back, best is to go for chrome/stain-tune coating..

 

for mufflers still not so bad.

Wat's the effect of having rusty exhaust?

 

If the rust gets really bad ur metal will corrode and a hole will appear in no time...then u will lose power because ur compresion drops...that is what happen to my KIPS...had to get it mend back and spray with high temperature paint...it did last a little longer bout 6 months before it got bad again...then juz sand down and spray again...

There is a "paint" call "cold galvanizing compound" which I saw worker in the oil refinery using it. I think this can da han high heat.
