andrew3160 Posted July 29, 2011 Report Posted July 29, 2011 Has anyone used standard powder on exhaust pipes? I have a matte black that I have used on several other parts that I would like to spray my pipes with. I have done one pipe in high temp flat black and it really isn't close in flatness. Wasn't sure if normal powder would hold up or not. The high temp powder is rated to 1200 deg and I am pretty sure my pipes don't come close to that. Any help is much appreciated. Quote
andrew3160 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Posted July 29, 2011 Just answered my question. For anyone that may want to know, standard powder tends to break down and bake off at about 500 degrees. High temp powder would be required for two stroke exhaust which would accommodate up to 1200 degrees. Another tip I learned about ordering powder in the summer. Never buy on a Thursday or a Friday. The time that your order sits in the truck over the weekend in the heat will cause the powder to bake together. Big suck when it arrives and you can only use half of what you ordered after sifting.
