    Hey guys, I was wondering if you can use any rust prevention spray for the exhaust pipe (pulse adrenaline) because there is a lot of rust collecting there! I know the pipe gets very hot...
    would this be suitable?

    Ive used ceramic header paint to paint a few of my bikes pipes after they began to rust , just remember 90% of the proper paintjob is the surface preperation

    Nooo that waxoyl spray will just burn off, the only way to do it properley would be prepare the exhaust first by using a wire brush to get the bulk of the rust off, then some wet and dry paper or steel wool to get the exhaust back to metal as mutch as possible, then use heat proof ceramic spray paint, with a number of light coats.

    I used this on my bike and they look 100% better.

    Any VHT Spray Paint should work, but as Dan above posted you must prepare the pipe first or it will just flake off with the rust already there!

    I used this Simoniz one and it was good stuff
