500ml Very High Temperature Spray Paint Matt Black for Exhaust Stove BBQ Fire Grill Chiminea

Product Information

In my years of working on motorcycles, I’ve come to recognize the importance of choosing the right paint for customizing a motorcycle’s exhaust. Trust me, it’s not something you can gloss over with regular paint; you need something more resilient to the heat. It is a great way to use Helix racing paint to extend the life and color of your exhaust system components. The paint is highly formulated for components that require high heat temperature paint. You can apply Helix racing paint on your high heat exhaust manifold without any doubt. Sourced from our friends across the pond we have POR-15 Engine Enamel. These beautiful heat-resistant enamel paints can be applied easily without leaving streaky brush marks to leave a smooth, high gloss finish that withstands the rigours of the engine compartment and one that helps prevent corrosion of the metal components. Containing 80% solid pigment (so less evaporation) this high temp paint provides a deep, rich colour and is formulated to match OEM standards. POR-15 High Temp Engine Enamels has a temp range up to 150°C and are available in 473ml pint-pot tins which is enough to do a whole engine.

areas. We leave them unpainted so the customer can choose whether to paint them or not. If we painted them, you may think we are covering up something. Normal practice is to paint these areas with glass paint to hide the sections. If you look at original genuine pipes like the Kawasaki ones, you will see the paintedHelix racing designed their high heat temperature paint with exclusive ceramic formula. This modern ceramic technology increases heat dispersing to maintain. Also, this paint protects the exhaust surface from fading, peeling, discolor, and chipping. But how did it perform in the real world? I was impressed. The paint held up well to all kinds of abuse. Whether on-road or off, it seemed unfazed by small stones, road grime, mud, and water. That ‘porcelain-like bond’ seemed to be doing its job, indeed. Where this paint truly shined was in its heat resistance. It’s rated to withstand an unprecedented 1300 F to 2000 F or around 700 C to 1000 C! To put it simply, this paint was suitable for almost every surface on my motorcycle. I went to town on the mufflers, mid-pipes, header pipes, cylinder heads, engine cases – you name it, this paint worked wonders on them all. I even jokingly considered trying to paint the exhaust gases themselves, though I’d caution anyone against attempting that feat. VHT also produces an Engine Enamel which has excellent durability and superior heat and chemical resistance. Specially formulated to withstand corrosion, rust, salt spray, chemicals and additives of today’s petrol blends and degreasers. With a max temp of 550°F (288°C) VHT Engine Enamel is made from a unique blend of urethane and ceramic resins, which produce a tough and long-lasting finish for engines, engine accessories or wherever a tough durable heat or chemical resistant finish is needed.

I went ahead and painted the mufflers, mid-pipes, header pipes, engine casings, and cylinder heads on my bike. The aerosol form made it easy to apply. A bit of light sanding beforehand worked wonders for the final result. Though tempted to use a primer, I followed JEGS’s advice against it and tested both ways. Trust me, sans primer is indeed the way to go. The finish was smooth and glossy, with a distinct sheen that looked amazing. I loved that PJ1’s paint is heat-treated, so it cures with the heat of regular motorcycle riding, adding to the durability.important thing to not use an abrasive chrome polish on them. Wax polish or Mr Sheene type polish is perfect for them. I’ve tried quite a few motorcycle exhaust paints, and this one stood out for its durability. It was scratch-resistant and didn’t chip or peel. JEGS promised a porcelain-like bond with metal at very high temperatures, so I was eager to put that claim to the test. As I admired the color, I realized that it looked pretty nice. The aluminum finish also helped hide any existing scratches, dings, and discoloration on my aluminum exhaust. As long as the shade matched, I was good to go.
