I painted my headers last year with Hycote VHT but the finish was matt black which looked more like a dark grey, I have also tried Halfords brand with the same outcome..
What are you guys using?
Has anyone used Granville satin black cylinder paint on headers before?
I am after a satin black that can take the heat and doesn't turn grey!!
I've used Granville satin black on a 350 two stroke good paint but it may not keep it's original colour for long after serious heat, keep painting them with a brush but in the end you may be happier when they've rusted through to get a nice set of Motad stainless ones & no more painting.
I have seen some guys on LC forums using this(Plasti-Kote BBQ paint) on the exhausts, ive never used it but they did get fantastic results, on my DT50MX, I used hycote engine enamel(gloss) and that stayed on for a year with the boy riding all year round, still looks good now.

I also used granville with a brush and was happy with the results. Once cured under heat it was a matt black finish which matched original reasonably well. Stuck fine and prevented further areas from rusting, although unfortunately too late to save already rusted areas and have a hole as of last week. Motad pipes on their way. But yes, granville recommended.
I was about to ask this question.
Did mine last January with a spray and its all come off, so this is what i shall try next, brushing is always thicker as well.

Cheers lads, Granville it is, seems very durable
Nice job. They'll look even better as the paint wears. Are they brass exhaust nuts? Could you stick up a link for them?
