 Post subject: Rusty Exhaust
PostPosted: 06 Mar 2010 14:27 
its probably been metioned somewhere before

my standard exhaust is a little too rusty and looks un-sightly so can anybody recomend a decent paint to sort it with please ??

also does someone know the part code / model numbers for the wheel bearings ?? i should be able to source them locally ( SKF agents etc..)

Thanks

I wouldn't bother painting it myself as it won't last. I recommend you invest in something stainless like a stealth or similar......


No idea about the bearings, I seam to be one of very few owners that have never had to replace any!

Plasticote barbeque paint is the way, but not until you throw a coat of something like cure rust on it....

Wheel bearings are in ' how to ' for part numbers just got my new front ones in the freezer and the heating :sun: cranked right up in the workshed should pop back in a doddle... i managed a heady 6k on the Taiwan oe specials which i'm replacing with KOYO's but SKF are as good, just make sure they are quality not just a copy cos they'll be made of cheese.

Send your can to Tubbs. He'll blast it and then paint it with his own concoction. The can he did for me seems more durable than Camcoat :yup:
