Should have done it in flame red:p Be interesting to see how that paint stands up to use over time. I was going to get started on my Rangie today but my mate has been called home:(.
My neighbor has been hounding me to help with his dead Disco so going down there now. Looks like yours will be going before mine is built up:D

I did a set of extractors on a mini in my youth and the paint held but lost a little of the colour. They were red and went lighter in colour and appeared a little powdery closest to the exhaust ports. I suspect on the pipes down stream the colour will last longer.

Slug, that might be the case , The Surface of VHT spray goes like a fine powder , I ran my hands on the painted surface once dry and a fine podwer somes off , Although pipes further away from ports is not real concern for me as I can get them made up again later again if rust blows a hole thru them ,really my main concern was to increase Longevity of "the extractors". seeing it was a pain to get them out.:(

Khos, you should have painted them "Aussie Mud Ochre", cause that is what they will be if you take the thing off road.
I am a bit worried that they were so clean when you took them off.

PhillipA, They will probably fade in time.

I matched the color of exhaust with the "extractors" ( who are getting "Ceramic coated") which is why I sprayed them in grey.:)

now "Aussie Mud Ochre" ??? not sure if this color exits in VHT range or wheather you're serious or having a "Dig" , no idea , the car will be taken off-road for many more years to come , and the colour of the exhaust or extractors won't really matter then , noboy will be able see it under the vehicle unless they are specifically looking for it.
