I had a look underneath my exhaust tips and I can't seem to find any bolts.
This is the exhaust system that I have: http://www.garage88.com.au/index.php...oducts_id=1917 Are the tips not detachable for some exhaust systems? Also, could someone give me an example of a good paint to use for the job? I'm thinking of painting the outside of the tips in gloss red and the inside in matte black. The tips don't get too hot so even plastidip would be able to withstand the heat? The 2 popular brands I found are VHT and Rust-Oleum. Which would be the better choice? Also, is it also necessary to use primer prior to painting? Thanks. Last edited by KevinTJH; 12-18-2014 at 11:52 PM. |

Just pull the whole axle back assembly off. It's only 2 bolts and 4 hangers. It's maybe a 10 minute job. You can't really go wrong with either paint. I like VHT personally.

I have seen people use Plasti-dip with good results. Google it.

I'll probably just go with the VHT then. Is the flameproof paint the right one to get? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VHT-HIGH-...item5d4221941f I'm looking for more of a gloss finish, but since the exhaust tips don't get as hot, would I be able to use Caliper paint instead? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VHT-HIGH-...item5d3bc117bf Does Primer need to be sprayed on before spraying the VHT paint on? Thanks! Last edited by KevinTJH; 12-21-2014 at 07:42 AM. |
