Hi all,

Who used VHT spray before? Can comment good or not?

End results

 

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a262/Enjoy83/IMGA0163.jpg

 

Used up 1 bottle exactly for the whole surface area of the header + mid pipe, all the way to the place where u hook up the end can. Spray about 2-3 layers at the place where my pic is showing.

 

Still looking very gd after almost a month of riding.

[andyann1]

Just wondering if there is anything else we need to get for the header painting. e.g. primer, sandpaper, etc? If so what kind?

[lindavw]

sand paper n cloth for washing that's all. newspaper oso... many many of it.

but bear in mind if u DIY the header spraying, cylinder 2 & 3 header will never be completely sprayed... n ur block head will kena abit so those polish nice nice block head dun wan to have black or red paint on it think u cant DIY le.

Wouldn't it be possible with the header removed?

[gene36]

I've resprayed my headers with some sbf bros here before using this paint. Actually i would still prefer the marfan way... taking out the whole header and removed the old paint and ALL rust before spraying it onto.

 

The last time i did, 2 cans each for us was like... just nice only... cos there will be alot of layers we have to spray, esp the 4 headers part.

 

The person who guide us in taking it out and sprayed actually took 2 days to do his. Very good condition.

 

The removal of rust is the most tedious part. It really does give you low moral when doing it... and you feel like, "aiyar, abit nvm one la... " and want to spray liao... but beware... don't learn from my mistakes... now my headers are becoming to rust liao...cos removal of rust the other time wasn't clean enough... now the rust coming from inside out...

 

We spend almost the whole day from 11am till 7plus in the evening... and when installed, the paint wasn't even dry yet.... smoke started to be seen when we start our bike... cos heat from the headers and the 'not dry' result of the paint.

 

About sponging, i'm not really sure about that... Nv try before... but would still prefer the marfan way. Scare double job.

 

As for the spray, thumbs up for it. Matt finish. Nice....

 

----------------------------

 

When the spray arrives, do inform me ya... Will be waiting for a suitable time and redo the whole header...(when i'm not lazy)

[andyann1]

How difficult was it to remove and reinstall? Any precautions to take?

[gene36]

Oh ya!

 

For those who are interested to know what are the things you'll need, here it is:

• Sand paper (preferably cloth type as will come in touch with water. Cloth type will not tear)
  
• Water
  
• Spray
  
• Newspaper (like posted, you'll need quite alot. For spraying purposes)
  
• 4 rubber bands (to keep the headers socket in place. Don't know what you call that also. Luan Pong one, but bring extra loh... maybe 8.)
  
• trash bag (throw your rubbish)
  
• Mp3 player/board games/card games/radio etc for entertainment while waiting.
  
• Cloth. Once header is out, your exhuast will dangle there and will hit your pillion stand. Leave a cloth there to prevent scratching.
  
• Autosol, if you wanna polish your end can while waiting.
  

Best if do it in an open space with shelter. Dry faster while you guys can rest in the shade.

Removal of headers still okie. Installing quite difficult. Precautions? Once my friend never installed properly and there was leakage or something.

 

Only problem is that it's hard to reach... but can be done. Do it before with guidance...

 

 

Just be sure to installed it back the way you remove and that should be fine...

[kennethy]

then again... when you take out and respray already have to wait for it to completely dry layer by layer...

 

cos if multi layer never complete dry, then later inner layer might crack. this is from my previous experience on applying painting...

 

so, all in all, might be looking at taking at least half a day...
