Painting a tractor exhaust?

[JCfarmer]

Could I spray a tractor with black hammerite or would it just burn straight off? Are they powder coated when new which allows it to last longer?

I use woodburner paint

Stove paint is what you need.
Did a exhaust a few years ago still good.

Thanks for replies, never thought of wood burner/stove paint. Another reason I like TFF

I have always found B&Q BBQ paint to be the best for such jobs.

Black engine enamel spray paint.

I always find black EXHAUST paint works really well..... discovered it years ago and haven't looked back since

I'm only a simple farmer who has led a sheltered life. First time I've had to paint an exhaust black or any colour for that matter and now I know. What gets hotter a woodburner/stove or an exhaust, may base my decision on that.

NO,,,do not paint your tractor with black hammerite.

 

[JCfarmer]

I won't, just considering which is better, woodburner paint or exhaust paint.

At a guess exhaust paint will have a higher temp rating to stove paint, but at a guess is stove paint more matt than gloss??

That's a lot of guessing.... he he

Both stove and exhaust paint can be bought in multiple colours and multiple finishes

the high temp exhaust paint is more expensive i asked why and best i could work out is exhaust paint has vat on it but BBQ paint does not also noticed that BBQ paint is higher temp rated

They both inevitably have VAT on them. One is quoted separately, that's the difference. Aimed at a different type of customer.
