Anyone plastidip their exhaust black?
 
I've read around and it seems to hold although i'm hesitant to do it since if it gets hit with debris it'll royally suck. i'll toss in the rear diffuser though so that'll hopefully help protect the underside.

i was going to get a black perrin catback but it seems perrin has discontinued that finish :/

wouldn't it melt off? or catch on fire?

2superblus 08-12-2013 05:19 PM

Seriously?

It would burn off.

You would need to paint it with a high temp grill paint.

Yes. Plasti dip your exhaust tips. That burning smell is just the +10 whp it's getting you.

Yes, it'll be fine - check out the video at 4:20, but don't expect to ever take it off. Also, I would only do the tips, not the whole exhaust in case something does go wrong.

BICEPS!

tracerit 08-12-2013 06:08 PM

ah, i was planning on it being removable. but if that's not the case then i'll just skip out on it and use an actual high temp spray in the future.

JR007 08-12-2013 06:26 PM

Ditto to the comment about the tips. I think that'll be okay. Btw, that guy in the Youtube shot has some great videos. I've been watching him awhile.

mikeTee 08-12-2013 09:35 PM

The only reason I say don't plan on taking it off is because I figure at some certain point it might bond to the metal, don't quote me on that. If you do decide to go this route and one day want to remove it, it should still dissolve using Goo-Gone or dipyourcar's "Dip Dissolver":

Personally, I'd say give it a shot, a can is only 5 bucks.

+1...that stuff works good. I used it on the exhaust on one of my bikes a couple of years ago, and it still looks great.

tracerit 08-12-2013 09:49 PM

my only reservation with using something permanent like the VHT spray is that i'll mess up and i'tll be difficult to correct.

right now, i'm gonna just go with the brushed silver perrin and then after i get black wheels i'll do plastidip, see how that holds up and if it doesn't work out i'll just redo it with the VHT.
