Default How hot do downpipes get?

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!

ta

Jim

I used PJ1 Fast Black to do mine.



I think I used the 500 degree one.

HTH!

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.
