Back box/muffler is looking a little grey and faded. There seems to be plenty of MATT black spray paints around but i cant seem to find a high temperature heat resistant spray in SATIN black...............can anyone recommend me one that they have used which does indeed come out with a satin look rather than matt.

thanks!

I started a thread on this a few weeks ago - I think you'll find some pointers here....

You can get it in Halfrauds . Even the stuff for a barbeque is fine. Also hammerite do a high temp paint also available in Halfrauds. Present :2008 TDV8 HSE

A couple discount shops like B&M by me sell it , used these in past as well good paint http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SATIN-BLACK-HEAT...1016288205

I used Hammerite high heat Matt black as couldn't get Satin high heat at time of purchase.

I was going to buy Halfords Satin Black spray, not high heat but was put off by shop staff saying not suitable for exhaust heat. Then I found that in fact a number of respected forum members use the standard Satin with no problems and also the box doesn't get that hot anyway.

What I used has lasted best part of 2 years very well. I'll soon buy Halfords Satin black and do it again as it looks better than Matt IMO.

many thanks guys

(was in halfords very briefly but just couldnt find any satin black heat resistant paint.....nor was there any sales staff around to help).

screwfix
toolstation
ebay


but to name a few places to get sating black and as said you dont need heat resistant paint nor do you have to scrub the exhaust clean to apply the spray.. ... - .- -.

I use Rustins Satin Black for Wood and Metal and apply it by brush.
Looks good and never had any bother with it staying on.
