Paint for Hot Pipes?
 
Anyone used rattle can exhaust/bbq paint on their hot pipes? If so what did you use and how has it held up?

The log manifold I'm getting is mild steel and I would like to paint/coat it then wrap it. And maybe paint the turbine housing too. My work is about 1/8 mile from the beach and things rust faster than normal.

I used some high temp stuff that's right next to he bbq paint. 3 coats them wrap then 2 coats of dei silicon wrap sealer

Why not ceramic coating?

Jot Hot wants $500 for just the log manifold :(

I anticipate I will be removing the kit every two years or so (for smog) and can repaint the rewrap the parts then.

Damn, that sucks, I just got factory ds mani, kb crossover, kb ps log, and kb 3.5" downpipe back from Jet Hot last wk and it was $600 with return shipping in the 2000 degree coating

They screwed up, they thought I was doing two log manifolds. It is $260 for the manifold shipped. I think I still might go with some high temp paint and wrap.

I'd Jet Hot it, personally.

If you coat it, you will still need to wrap it to keep the heat in and to keep the underhood temps down. Just spray it and wrap it

That's my plan. I will be removing the kit every two years and can repaint them then. Any particular brand of high temp paint you guys recommend?

I did 3 coats of VHT high temp stuff on the bare pipes. Then wrapped them then 2 coats od DEI wrap sealer
