Anyone done this?

If so what paint did you use and how well did it hold up.

Most VHT spray paints seem to come with a matt finish, but I want a gloss finish.

I used CarPlan VHT paint in silver from my local motor factors - its lasted over a year so far with no issues. However its not glossy its just got a slight sheen....

you can buy flue paint that is gloss. thats real high temp, most is mat so you will have to look around

Used Halfords own satin black regular spray paint twice. Works a treat, so I assume their gloss will hold up just as well

Same

i painted mine with basecoat and clear at work...


i've not fitted it yet so probably doesnt answer your question

Love what you've done with the hot symbol

I used Halfords silver alloy wheel paint . I painted it 2 years ago and it still looks good.

When it was first fitted.

I painted mine about 3 weeks ago with black mate stove paint from Halfords as it's up to 600 deg

Then noticed a bit has flaked off yesterday , so a bit

I'm going to just respray that part again and hope for the best

Did you key the panel 1st? Most paints need a good key where some onto metal paints etch themselves. To be safe, key the panel with 600 or 800grit.
