i was going to use bbq paint on the pipes and mufflers on the 250 (just rusted up pretty good). At the time i had a job where we had a blast cabinet almost large enough to put 1 side in at a time in and clean them up that way, wasent going to prime or sand, just clean it up good, spray bomb, and let it cure on the bike on the 45 min ride home.... Just never got around to it

Maybe high heat primer would work but regular wouldn't. I've used NAPA high heat, even Walmart's brand and they all work. I use flat on exhausts (1200 degree plus) and semi gloss or gloss (500 degree plus) on the mufflers. Sometimes as someone commented black turns somewhat grey - depending on the brand and I prefer a slight sheen on the exhausts and so some flats do that. Stove or BBQ paint works as well, Graham On Nov 29, 2010, at 11:01 PM, Javier Garcia wrote: > Graham, do you remember the names of any of the good brands?
