painting stacks?
 

i am going to be doing a single maybe a double idk but im going to paint it black. would i use just some engine enamel or what?

As high temp as you can find. Use some 250 grit sandpaper to rough it up.

get it powder coated if ya can......other wise stove paint

AEROSOL ENGINE ENAMEL-Hirsch Automotive Products check this out bowtech about as high temp as your gonna find:yeah:

i just used engine paint.. no problems with mine, its just gonna get covered in soot anyway lol

I scuffed mine w/ a fine scotch brite, the used VHT ceramic paint good for 1500 degrees. Turned out awesome. :rocking:

I found a can of header paint good to something like 2200 degrees. duplicolor IIRC.

if you ruff it up with 250 grit paper it will show some nasty scratches coarsest i would go with is like 320 or a scotch brite gray fine pad

X2 I'd use some manifold paint

The stacks are far enough away from the motor that they don't get real hot. Any paint will do.

One thing I noticed is that the black stacks run alot cooler then the chrome ones i had did. With the black stacks i can touch em right after driving and they're barely warm.

we always used paint for charchol grills on sbc headers good for 1200 and cheaper than header paint

x2 on wes ... i have always used outdoor grill paint ... or some kind of furnace paint

i have a can in the garage i will loot to see wat it was again cant remember ... but i painted my track cars exaust with it and never had a problem

sounds like i should try lol

My brother sanded his boner stack as we call it because its a single 7 inch and then just used black BQ paint its good to 1700

a single black 7 would be sweet you should post a pic

I have black tip on my truck and even after a long run it doesn't get too hot to touch. I would go with a higher temp paint just to be on the safe side though.
