shannonpurdy Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I painted mine with high temp ceramic paint. I also painted an old set of Toomey's with the same stuff. Worked well for me. This psint can be found at just about any auto parts store. Temps vary from about 300 degrees up to 1000 degrees. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350duner Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Temps vary from about 300 degrees up to 1000 degrees. And if your cylinders get over 300 degrees the last thing you need to worry about is your paint, lol! My banshee jugs are painted silver. They look pretty cool, everybody has polished cylinders out there, not too many that are painted. I'm not sure what etching primer is, but if you properly prep the surface and use a high temp paint it should work fine. I've heard of people PC'ing cyilnders too. I'm not sure exactly how much painting of PC'ing them affects cooling, but so far I haven't had problems. On an air-cooled motor I imagine it would be more of an issue. Give it a try, worst case scenario you'll have to get out the paint stripper and start over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannonpurdy Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I used the 1000 degree paint for an old set of Toomey pipes I had. I know the temp doesn't run that high but I didn't know how good the paint was either. I ran the pipes for quite sometime before I built my trinity motor and the paint never came off. I was impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
