Painting inlets

[Arctic_182]

I was looking at painting my inlet satin black soon but not sure which is the best paint to use for the heat?

 

[syko6288]

try hamerite or other heat paint from halfords or b&q

Don't! Looks s**t! Be different and keep it silver!!

they dont get particularly hot that you'd need special paint.

forgot to ask about primer is it needed or not?

pmsl at Hammerite. That is god awfull stuff. Normal paint is fine if you want to paint it. I'm with Ali though, keep it silver.

that depends which paint you use. A benefit of the VHT paints is they normally specify no primer, just a light guide coat first.

This is done in silver VHT
