Exhaust.

:-D Evening all.

Just a weeeee question.

Am getting myself a new but standard Exhaust system this week, and was wondering if there is anyway to give it extra protection. Is there any tips or tricks or something you can add to have it resist the elements a little longer..

Anyhows, was just a ponder. Hope you're all well and dandy! :-D

Adios for now. k:

Give it a couple of coats of black high tempereature spray paint. Same thing as 'BBQ paint'. Should make it last a little longer but i wouldnt worry too much.

EDIT: Edit you can pick this stuff up at most DIY stores. I bought one spray-can of BBQ paint from B+Q and thats more than enough for a full exhaust.

Would this make the exhaust black though???? or is it clear?????

 

[haGGard]

Well yes it would make it black, but its under the car, no one will see it. I think there is a clear VHT paint as well, though i am not sure.

Cool, Cheers man i think i'll give it a peek.

a company called hycote do a clear VHT paint

you can also get an aluminium finish one too, but I think it's more of a matte silver than a polished look so the clear may be better

ahhh thats ace! ithink thats goin to go onto the x-mas list :grin: good find!

 

[haGGard]

make sure you rub the exhaust down before applying.

 

[HarryHendo]

just with a cloth you mean yeah?

No use sandpaper. No point spraying it if you just gonna spray over the top of the dirt/corrosion thats already on it.
