when I had a hotpipe, I painted it VHT black.
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Best paint for hotpipe
Yeah mine black at the moment but want a different colour, wasnt sure if people powder coated them?

Hi temp paint will do the job buddy

Ok cheers
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Best paint for hotpipe
Remind me- I'm guessing it ain't a good idea to use primer with VHT paint? You just use it on it's own don't you?

I just used VHT on its own
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Best paint for hotpipe
Has anyone used the hycote paint and lacquere?
Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Best paint for hotpipe
You have to use hi temp paint on its own .. make sure the surface is clean and contaminant free and spray lots of cotes .. i thought it would be ok to use normal paint .. I failed ... after 3 months it bubbled up

I have used it with no primer - when I paint the part I always heat it up in the oven first, paint it then bake it in the oven again - The joys of living in your own home on your own!

Thanks guys...I figured they'd do a VHT primer if you were supposed to use one!

I've got black powdercoated pipes and they seem to be ok until now
