Hey guys
im new here and i have a 2000 YZ125. Iv been cleaning it up and getting it running nice, but as my brother had it before me it has a few scratches,especially on the exhaust pipes. As it is black i just wana spray it again and it should come up all good. My question is what sort of paint is best to use for this job? i no it must be heat resistent.
If someone could get me an idea of what to use that would be awesome
cheers

I painted my exhaust on my 07 r6 and had great results by using hi temp engine paint, but beware if you drop it or mistreat it its gonna scratch, dont be cheap, spend at least 10 bucks per can (you should only need one). Cheap paint tends to fade or give crappy looks. Let it dry completely!!!
