Lancelot Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The front exhaust pipe on my CBR 150 was looking gnarly, so yesterday was paint day! Two nuts where the front pipe connects to the exhaust port and two bolts connecting the exhaust system to the frame and its on the ground. Spent three hours wire brusing and sanding. Bosny High temp gloss, 259 a can at Tesco Before After I "cured" the paint by staring the engine and letting her idle for 15 seconds. Cool off, then 20 seconds. I did thie six times. Drove the bike last night on a short tirp to eat, then back to my room after aboiut one hour. The after pic was taken this morning. Time will tell PS- Bosny paint is made in Thailand under Englis Trade Mark, so If it peels off, I'm blaming it on the UK folks, Ha! www.bosny.com There are a few clips on You Tube, one is in Russian with a guy painting his car muffler !

floridaguy Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Yeah, I used the bbq grill hi temp paint from Home Pro on my exhaust and it lasted very well for a year until I sold it with no chips/flaking. It is all in the prep before painting. Good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poanoi Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The powder coating on my 2nd pipe behind couldnt take the heat the first decimeter after cylinder, is this stuff more heat resistant than powder coating ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beats me. I kept googling High Tem Paint and Bosny came up several times, along with others, noteably VHT. There was also a report on Singapore Bikes that a poster had had success with Bosny. Its rated 1,200 F, which is maybe 650 C? At the front bend, the gloss has faded but I expected that. Time will tell. I'll report back in a couple of months with a pic.

cbrer Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The muffler on my CBR250 got rusty very quickly, so did the same with that about a year ago. Is still okay except for a small bit of rust starting to creep in around the outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
