SLORYDER Posted May 9, 2009 Report Posted May 9, 2009 Hey I'm going for a sleeper look on my new build and I have a set of chrome Paul turner hi rev pipes I want to paint black.. I plan on using hi temp brake or some other hi temp paint but I'm wondering what's the best way to prep the chrome surface? Thanks Quote

SLORYDER Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Posted May 9, 2009 meh, I'm not too worried about it being perfect, as long as I can get the coat to stidk Quote
rtcc Posted May 9, 2009 Report Posted May 9, 2009 I dont know anything about painting pipes, but I sent my hi revs to Nitrotate on here and he media blasted them and High temp powder coated them for cheap. You should pm him and see what he can do for you, its not as bad as you think it is. Quote
SLORYDER Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Posted May 10, 2009 well just the shipping would be 80... Quote
T_Shee Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 ive had some luck with barbecue paing. id hate to go sanding on chrome pipes but since their yours i guess just sand the piss outta them and get them good and clean before painting Quote
ex400 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 waste of time if you ask me. The Paul turner hi rev are like no other pipe on the market and they stick out like a sore thumb so no matter what you do to them there is really no sleeper look. Quote
pipewelder Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 I have a set of black pt hi revs i will trade you. Quote
278 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 best way to do it is sand plast them, then use some VHT it stands for very high temp. but the product is called VHT you can find it at auto parts stores... it works great. but if you dont have access to a sand blaster then probably sand them real well with some 220 grit Quote

In my mind they look closer than anything to stock pipes (from a glance) but maybe that's me I don't remember exactly what they look like.. Quote
