Subject:Painting the exhaust - High Temp - POR??
From:Jeff Lincoln <magikvw@GMAIL.COM>

So while I'm under the bus working on the clutch I had an exhaust issue to
fix (rusted through at collector). The headers are crusty but not close to
rusted through. I'd like to paint them with a POR type paint - POR has a
couple of High temp options (Black Velvet and POR-20 Aluminum) The first
rated for 1200� and the other for 1400� - the aluminum says it is salt an
weather resistant.

So the ALuminum sounds like it fits the bill but POR says to use regular
POR-15 (as long as the parts don't exceed 450�). I think they didn't catch
what I was asking them :)

Anyone ever used the aluminum stuff? Or other products?
Thanks,

Jeff
