HT paint 500 or 600*C

Exhaust temps at full throttle, 600*C +

The paint wont last long, but it makes it loog good while you install it, and thats what counts. Then you know you've been giving it the beans when its all burnt off *wink*

So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

did you use a wire brush in a drill? Looks good.

Are you going to clean up the inside with a carbide bit? *wink*

i used a wire wheel at work, the inside is almost finished and clean i only used course sandpaper on that though, i have heard of some ht paint thats good for 800*c i was going to try and find some of that, if not ill just look for the paint burning off. alot more satisfying :)
thanks for the comments
