Hi all,

Read a few posts on here regarding painting their exhaust, some say high temp others say normal is fine

Does anyone know if the standard Hammerite? I have some Hammerite Smooth Metal Paint.

Or do I actually need a high-temperature paint for the back box ?

What's the worst that can happen ?

I'm fairly sure it's not flammable, so worst case it cracks & peels off ? Then is maybe harder to get the rest off & paint with something else ?

Given you already have the paint, I'd be inclined to just give it a try and live with any consequences.

Edited to add -

On second thoughts, having just looked on eBay - a tin of black BBQ spray paint is a tenner - I'd be more inclined to buy that....

99% of paints will be fine with the temp the rear box gets to...  Pete

I just sprayed mine Matt black it’s still looking good 18 months on

I used some high temp mat black but as others have said it doesnt really get very hot so Im sure any old stuff will do. Current: FF Westminster money pit

High temp matt black spray works great. Surface preparation needed is minimal, just wash with soapy water, use the green (rough) side of a scotch brite sponge while you're at it. Rinse and let it dry.
You can use a piece of cardboard to protect areas you don't want sprayed.

Used Hammerite smooth satin black on both of ours, one was done nearly a year ago and is still fine. Make sure you prep well and get all the old loose stuff off and feather all of the edges with wet and dry. Drives:

Just to give you some encouragement.......

Did mine with black BBQ paint. It’s all in the prep. The surface must be very clean and free of dirt and dust. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜
