Ok, so i stripped all the apint work or covering ect from my exhaust the other day, what can i put on as a new finsih to protect the metal from rusting ? It must also look good !

BBQ paint mate, no joke, that stuff is totally heat proof so it wont flake and its dirt cheap too (IIRC)

honestly, get down to your local focus, B&Q or what ever and you should be able to get it!

Thansk very much !!
Ill go down 2 morrow and get me some !!

 

[gregs656]

its usually satin black too, so it looks cool!

IMO anyway!

Yeah, BBQ Paint is the best plan. If you really wanna go fancy, you could get a sheet of carbon fibre to stick over the end can like superfly did with his...

just had too strip and paint my new tyga exhaust as the clear laquer just disolved with all the road salt about, guess they're designed for use in sunnier climes?? i used bbq paint from halfords, think it was ?5 which was enough for three coats, looks real nice!!

i bought a load of exhaust paint once, and pain stakingly painted the silencer a perfect replica of a redbull can,then the day after i finnished it, i had a low speed crash, and slid it down the road on freshly painted silencer...........................bugger!

 

[DJUnreal]

Did you take pics before you binned it?

 

[tzr freak]

yeah, i got 1 polaroid,but havent seen it, since i took it,and we must be talking 7 years ago now

Bugger. I think people should paint their end cans to look like beer cans or something - the size isn't that much different, and that'd give the MOT tester a real shock when you turn up with a 'beer can' on your exhaust

 

[tzr freak]

just wrap a beer can round it, doesnt matter if there is a gap round the back, just braise it on

 

[DJUnreal]

True, that's an option. Would still give them a bit of a shock

Only thing is that they'd notice the join marks, whereas if it was painted, they'd think it'd been b*st*rdised on

 

[tzr freak]

ok then, chop off your silencer, and braise the bottom end to the expansion chamber, and leave the ring pull on and leave the open hole as the exit

might sound a little "tinny"tho. lol

That comment is worthy of my style of jokes...

to you!

 

[gregs656]

ive seen it done before, ive also seen them used as air filters

ive also seen bodged k and n style air filters made with glass fibre insulation and bird feeders.

and no, im really not joking

Sounds like a very creative idea actually! I think the best one would be a beer-can exhaust though.
