I'm going to be removing, cleaning, derusting & painting the entire exhaust system on my Talon, from the exhaust manifold & heat shields, to the entire exhaust pipe including the cat, muffler & tailpipes, and the cat heat shield.
I was just wondering how high a temp paint I need for the various parts. Is 500F enough, such as Duplicolor supports, or do I need something much higher, as high as Rustoleum's 2000F High Heat paint. I suppose that different parts are going to generate different max temps and perhaps need different temp rating paints.
And do I need to prime, or is several coats of paint enough, so long as I rough up the metal or use an etching agent like POR-15's Metal Prep?
If I do need to prime, what do folks suggest I use?
And speaking of POR-15, any reason to use or not use it on any of these parts? Seems like overkill but I did recently purchase a 6-pack of their 4oz cans.
