Best High Temp paint?
Has anyone used a particular paint and been surprised by its longevity in hot places?
I know painting a silencer box is pointless.
But is there a product that will outlast the others?
Just curious.

I bought the halfords brush on stuff and it's still on. It can chip quite easy though.hally75 wrote:Halfords high temp spray not too bad rev... But yeah I have to go over mine regular.

I looked at Vitcas paint but the cost of shipping was as much as 400ml of paint.

Vitcas is cheaper through Amazon rather than from them direct.
