@@AaronsEnduro been thinking of doing the exact same process but I've seen in some videos where the VHT high heat paint didn't work out.. some say it has to be cured in an oven? Yours is the first one I saw with the curing process don on the bike
So as long you cure it properly it will adhear. Id say 99% of people who try to paint anything with any paint dont ever use a proper cleaner to prep the material (such as a rubbing alcohol or acetone) to clean dirt or debris off (just washing with water will not be sufficient)
You need to make sure to not overgeat the paint right away ( as you saw me bring it up to temperature then back to cold and hot and cold again before letting it get smoking hot
You can leave it polished its just gonna take some elbow grease to get it to all look smooth from polishing. All depends on what kind of polished finish you want
Bro, you gave me a total relief when you said that the burning and smoke scenario is pretty normal! Thanks!
Someone who speaks knowing not EVERYONE here is completely clued up on the matter! Thanks bro, going to paint mine right now.
Lemme know how it goes!
the za hanging in the background is fire

Another excellent one AARON! You made that transformation look so easy! Awesome results! -🤘
Truly came out mint!!! Super stoked on the final results! Thanks for watching and supporting brotha!!!
@@AaronsEnduro always bro!
My fiest bike was a 2003 XR100! Love of my life as a 12nyear old!
Xr100 is a certified classic!
Good video and excellent thumbnail .Your other vids have great thumbnails too , Good stuff ! 👍
Glad you enjoyed them!
What you drying out in the background there man Looks good
🤫🤐
Great video
Appreciate it!
Yw
when you warm it up and cool down, how many minutes? 5 or 10 minutes perhaps?
thx man for the video, how is the paint holding? how long does it usually last? how many years?
Which polishing wheel do you recommend?
i sabded my xr80 2004 echaust by hand and so as my xr350 1985 it was painful
Holy, itd take for ever to sand it by hand haha
@@AaronsEnduro yeah but I got it done
Totally doable, yes.
totally a pain in the fingers, also yes.
@@AaronsEnduro I had a paint gun and sand blaster but sand blaster not set up and I didn’t have paint for the paint but only spray paint
Do I need to use primer? On the high heat rustoleum it says to.
Yes you want to use an etching primer
If I were just to sand it down just to polish it off, what would you recommend putting on the exhaust after the polish to stop any corrosion or rust
A sealant
it's been nine months, how'd the exhaust paint hold up? nice job.
Still looks minty! Other than the obvious boot rub spot but that will always need touching up from rubbing

VHT product is expensive and top of the line stuff. If its doesnt stick , you’ve done something wrong
Is it not coming rust?
Where you get the wheel for initial cleaning
Local hardware store
Do they make this paint in gloss?
No. It only comes in the kind shown
Do I need primer for this exact type of spray paint or can I just paint it without primer?( I painted it without primer idk if I did it right💀)
Its definitely advised to use primer!
@@AaronsEnduro did you use primer?
Sorry no I didn’t, I thought this comment was on a different older video lol
@@AaronsEnduro will the pain still stick and last even though I didn't use primer?
Yes if you use the correct paint its designed to go straight onto the exhaust
Nice vid Mang. Hope you didn’t get any overspray on yours budage😜😎
Turned out great 😎 😂
How many coats of paint did you put on it? Thanks
I think 4, and 6 on the heat shield (id do even more if i did it again on the shield)
@@AaronsEnduro ok thanks!
Whats the name of the sanding bit you used. Cheers
Honestly i can’t remember now, it was just at my local hardware store
Nice job on your kids bike
Thanks! Not my kids bike tho, girlfriends
Will denatured alcohol work as well?
Yes., probably
Will this protect it from getting rusted?
This will definitely help
@@AaronsEnduro ok because I did not know if I should do this because I just sanded it down and I think it’s going to rust now but I will try it thanks
If you sand to bare metal on anything it will rust if you dont paint or put something on it
@@AaronsEnduro ok thanks a bunch
@@AaronsEnduro I have one more question what kind of acitone is that, that your using for it?
Where did you get the wheel for the drill?
Home depo!
very nice ......next step curing...hehe
😂😂😂
Hey man what's that sanding pad called so I can buy one?
Honestly don’t remember the name, you will find them in your local hardware store
do i have to paint my header or can i leave it polished
You can leave it polished its just gonna take some elbow grease to get it to all look smooth from polishing. All depends on what kind of polished finish you want
Hey guys i got a 2021 rfz 140cc what i need to make it 250cc ???
From what i know the biggest engine that will bolt up without serious modifications is a 212cc daytona engine
Paint hot paint on cool surface or cool paint on hot surface
Can you keep it polished metal??
itd probably corrode real bad
Did you use primer ?
No
@@AaronsEnduro How's it holding up ?
Barely has been ridden but still looks great!
@@AaronsEnduro I have a TTR 125 L , stripped the paint and rust off the exhaust ready to paint, just waiting for the weather to co-operate.
I'm going to go ahead and go ahead.
Go ahead
Looks like he's using a 3M 03173 wheel for those wondering.
Very well might be! Been to long to remember myself 😂
In my eyes thats Not Black thats dark grey
In my eyes im color blind so its all the same thing lol
Do you think a Brillo pad will work lmaoo😂
You’re gonna be scrubbing away till the new year!
Next episode how to remove dents from you're exhaust😂
No offense but you look like Macaulay Culkin
Not the first comment to say that lol
I used brake cleaner and I worked to clean 🤣
If it works, its works right 🤷🏼♂️
You look like Cameron nimellas cousin
😂
