mark r Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Hi, Does anyone have a recomendation for Black Exhaust paint for the middle box and silencer on a MAR, most of the exhausts paints seem to be Matt and I was trying to match the original gloss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spen Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Hammerite, Plasti-Kote, Halfords...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboy883 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) B&Q, Homebase etc, they all sell gloss barbecue paint. It is heat resistant, unlike hammerite, and doesnt peel or give off a bad odour when first used. BBQ all the way. Hope this helps!

I didn't suggest using 'ordinary' Hammerite.... although this stuff is matt finish.http://www.toolandfix.com/hammerite-hhpblaero-high-heat-paint-aerosol-black-400ml.html?utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=CP_droLI3MsCFesV0wodGuYCBQ Edited March 25, 2016 by spen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basketcase Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 I had mine powder coated Matt black and am very impressed with the results. Although I haven't run it yet ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spen Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 I know a chap who had his Suzuki race bike expansion chambers done in gloss black powder coating, it looked great, didn't bubble or deteriorate. It cocked his carburation up though as it messed with the acoustics/resonance. Shouldn't be too much of a problem with a relatively low revving trials bike engine without expansion chambers.

jonboy883 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) If it helps, can of spray paint £5- , see how it looks, if not happy then go for the powder coated option Edited March 26, 2016 by jonboy883 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
