No, i'm not planning on touching them!, but do they get up to 400 degrees, or higher? (reason, I am intending to clean and spray mine matt black, but there are two types of heat resistant paint, with different temp levels (and waaay different prices)

so I was wondering if anyone technical knew how hot they are supposed to get!

not to sure, but i wouldent trust any heat resistant paint anyway. Get a dremmel and clean your downpipes the hard way

I used PJ1 Fast Black to do mine.

I think I used the 500 degree one.

HTH!

How much was the PJ1 stuff?

22-02-08, 11:06 AM

About a tenner on fleBay

is that 500 F or 500C? I've found pj1 on ebay, but it says only 260C (500f). If that's the case, I have some matt black 425 C paint that I can spray on instead! Hurray for barbeque paint! ha ha!

Still looks fresh. It cures as the pipe heats up so the run back from Chesterfield was enough to cure it.

The PJ1 Fast Black is basically BBQ paint but is also good for exhausts.

Polish em wid elbow grease and lots of autosol, but fainling that use the dremel like said before.

And yes they do get hot, cause this dozy bugger, saw a spot of muck on mine once ad went to rub it off, melting a hole in my glove.....doh!!!
