T25 Exhaust paint what temperature centigrade can withstand

Post by nesty »

Looking for some exhaust paint, what temperatures does the T25 (steel) exhaust get up to?

Would 500 c be ok?

I've used all sorts but it all comes off the headers eventually, silencer usually ok.

BBQ paint is very good.

For a more permenent protection you need galvanised or electroplated treatment.
Chrome or nickle is about the best
