Bro, you gave me a total relief when you said that the burning and smoke scenario is pretty normal! Thanks!

Home depo!

[@tcos5077]

Nice vid Mang. Hope you didn’t get any overspray on yours budage😜😎

[@AaronsEnduro]

Turned out great 😎 😂

[@evilx8467]

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

[@AaronsEnduro]

A sealant

[@Andreworkdjddj]

Do I need to use primer? On the high heat rustoleum it says to.

[@AaronsEnduro]

Yes you want to use an etching primer

[@zacharydudley5130]

Where you get the wheel for initial cleaning

[@AaronsEnduro]

Local hardware store

[@MattTurner-vr2ej]

Whats the name of the sanding bit you used. Cheers

[@AaronsEnduro]

Honestly i can’t remember now, it was just at my local hardware store

[@laj2243]

Hey guys i got a 2021 rfz 140cc what i need to make it 250cc ???

[@AaronsEnduro]

From what i know the biggest engine that will bolt up without serious modifications is a 212cc daytona engine

[@bernal_vlogs]

Hey man what's that sanding pad called so I can buy one?

[@AaronsEnduro]

Honestly don’t remember the name, you will find them in your local hardware store

[@STHusky]

i sabded my xr80 2004 echaust by hand and so as my xr350 1985 it was painful

[@AaronsEnduro]

Holy, itd take for ever to sand it by hand haha

[@STHusky]

@@AaronsEnduro yeah but I got it done

[@AaronsEnduro]

Totally doable, yes. totally a pain in the fingers, also yes.

[@STHusky]

@@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

[@Niko-dv8yn]

do i have to paint my header or can i leave it polished

[@AaronsEnduro]

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

[@KAOSshortyrip]

Will denatured alcohol work as well?

[@AaronsEnduro]

Yes., probably

[@Tattoosandprotein]

Do they make this paint in gloss?

[@AaronsEnduro]

No. It only comes in the kind shown

[@medgrower1.killer]

Nice job on your kids bike

[@AaronsEnduro]

Thanks! Not my kids bike tho, girlfriends

[@tylerbertke9693]

How many coats of paint did you put on it? Thanks

[@AaronsEnduro]

I think 4, and 6 on the heat shield (id do even more if i did it again on the shield)

[@tylerbertke9693]

@@AaronsEnduro ok thanks!

[@Bomboclat69420]

Can you keep it polished metal??

[@AaronsEnduro]

itd probably corrode real bad

[@carlosmartin3881]

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💀)

[@AaronsEnduro]

Its definitely advised to use primer!

[@carlosmartin3881]

​@@AaronsEnduro did you use primer?

[@AaronsEnduro]

Sorry no I didn’t, I thought this comment was on a different older video lol

[@carlosmartin3881]

​@@AaronsEnduro will the pain still stick and last even though I didn't use primer?

[@AaronsEnduro]

Yes if you use the correct paint its designed to go straight onto the exhaust

[@ginocueva3416]

it's been nine months, how'd the exhaust paint hold up? nice job.

[@AaronsEnduro]

Still looks minty! Other than the obvious boot rub spot but that will always need touching up from rubbing

[@ginocueva3416]

@@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

[@AaronsEnduro]

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)

[@AaronsEnduro]

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

[@AaronsEnduro]

VHT product is expensive and top of the line stuff. If its doesnt stick , you’ve done something wrong

[@levylovits]

Paint hot paint on cool surface or cool paint on hot surface

[@Dr_Monster]

Did you use primer ?

[@AaronsEnduro]

No

[@Dr_Monster]

@@AaronsEnduro How's it holding up ?

[@AaronsEnduro]

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

Will this protect it from getting rusted?

[@AaronsEnduro]

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
