I went by Canadian Tire today and found Green High heat paint it looks just like the AC green so I pick up a can for $12.99. I bead blasted my pipe then painted it. Looks good here's a few pics.....[galleryattach=12700][galleryattach=12701][galleryattach=12702]

That's one hella bright pipe! Nice job though! [8D]

 

[mcc-bri]

looks great but is that the dupli color 500 degree paint? if so i dont know how well it will hold up. If its a diffrent paint with higher heat rating what is it?

 

[1FastCat]

Yes it's the Dupli color Ceramic 500 degree paint I hope it will hold up, they don't have this color in a higher temp.

 

[arcticcatmatt]

I think its going to peel right off buddy.. Looks nice though!

Don't exhaust get over 500 degrees?

 

[snoproguy]

Most people use 1500* paint (or so). There's an abundance in black for BBQ grills...that's what I've used. I know people have been using Dupli-Color High Heat Paint with Ceramic. That's good to 1200*, and available in about six colors.

I've used the duplicolor 1200 on my pipes that were origionally ceramic coated and chromed and havent had a problem but I think that 500 degree stuff is meant to be an engine block paint, It looks great, but good luck keeping it from flaking off.

Well I'll see what happens we should get snow in my area by next month. I'll take the sled out a few times and take a few more pis of the pipe and post it here.

That is one sick lookin pipe though!! I think you might have to go with the 1200 degree paint like articcatmatt did (and me...

 

[powder_special_900]

ya sweet looking pipe, to bad its gonna burn right off though. Would be killer if it would stay like that!!

 

[Curt_Man]

Agreed, Unfortunately anything under 1200F wont last long at all, even the 1200F I put on only last one season, until some flaking etc..

Looks way awesome color man...Enjoy.

I bought that same stuff last year. Drove the sled once before I blew a ring and the pipe is already turning brown.

Well that sucks for me. I guess I'm going to repaint it with the right high temp stuff but I don't think I will do it this year.

Nice pipe, Lets see what it looks like on the sled.

i painted my pipe on saturday with 500 degree paint. started bubbling pretty bad after about 5 minutes. had to sand them all down again and painted with the 1200 paint. i saw that green high temp paint in the store yesterday, i thought they had it in 1200 degree also. i wouldn't even waste your time putting it on and trying it out unfortunately. i found out the hard way, at least you have a sand blaster.

VHT makes a flameproof paint, good up to 1500 and supposed to resist breif blasts of fire. Available in a few diff colors.

Thats what I would expect to happen if you painted the actual pipe and not the pipe cover when using 500 degree paint.

Well last Friday my Bro and I went 20min. north of whare I live it took about 30min. for the paint to burn off I will post some pic's of the pipe this weekend.

Im a painter by trade get some spray can paint stripper and remove the paint this paint will not hold up your pipes see temps from 1175f to 800f you could have a fire if you would like a sharp looking set of pipes jet coat them silver looks good and better power to boot.
