Best High Temp paint?

Post by kevtherev »

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.

Halfords high temp spray not too bad rev... But yeah I have to go over mine regular.
I'm sure there are more heavy duty options available though. You got nothing specialist at work ?

I bought the halfords brush on stuff and it's still on. It can chip quite easy though.

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.
