i know one guy who used matt black spray meant for BBQ's on his calipers, i used enamel paint that comes in 'Humbrol' tubs.

I have used that on motorbikes, in the past and it does fine , i even used it on my bike exhaust, it's fairly tolerant with heat to a point of course.

 

[ryandavis]

bbq's love it!! just any enamel paint, /Humbrol tubs??

cheers!

Hammerite works fine for callipers etc.

 

[ryandavis]

[Rory]

Will be fine on the rocker cover also.

we used hammerite for painting the block on my last engine, looks great.

BBQ paint is also good, as is plastikote metal protekt

 

[ryandavis]

smoken cigar's hear!!
is there anywer heat wise it wont withstand??

cheers

 

[Dub-Se7en]

heatwise: exhaust manifolds / turbo area would be too much.

worth pointing out we used the brush-on hammerite, thinned out and put through a spray gun

 

[ryandavis]

oh rite, well thatsonly adding some thinners then ye! good idea btw. iv done this using boat paint to spray the under neath of an alfa i was restoring, looked well nice!!

I put a couple of coats of gold hammerite on my calipers and its never come off.

I wire brushed them first and then dusted them off and got a nice finish on them.

I remember painting a bike exhaust with hammerite back in the day, it bublled up and came off.

No wonder, not many paints on the market will take 800 degC heat........
