Yeah it's about 350F or so. This should be ok on the cans but this is why I'm planning on wrapping the headers.. just wanted to get anyone's opinion that's had actual experience with this stuff.
IMHO it would not be a good idea for any part of the exhaust. And if you do any kind of painting on anything chrome it will need to be aggressively sanded/blasted to ensure adhesion.
dipyourcar.com has a video on doing exhaust tips. That would be on cars though, so the temps would be lower. They recommend only using a cleaning solution before putting it on chrome.
Well because the cans are chrome and the plastic dip folks say you dont need to do anything to it at all so you can do it and remove it. Seen other people doing it on youtube but there's no follow up for if it lasted.
It'll stick fine on chrome since it really doesn't stick to material like say paint does, doesn't need sanding marks to bite into. It basically sticks to itself and just creates a rubber coating over the part. I've used it a couple of times on stock parts without sanding just so I could easily see how a different colour would work. No risk with PlastiDip since you can just peel it off when ever you want.
I believe a motorcycle can gets a lot hotter than a car exhaust tip. I can touch the exhaust tip on my car without burning myself. And when the recomended temperature is exceeded, what will happen to the plastic? Melt? Will it be able to come off without problems? If you try this, I'm curious to hear the results.
I ask to take advantage of other experience so time is not wasted in the long run and while I'm looking after the little ones my pioneering is limited to advanced crayoning and potty emptying techniques.
Plus it's down at number 3 or 4 on the list of things to do on my bike, just doing my planning but I will be giving this a go probably next weekend and will report back. I'm not worried about it - from what I've read even if it can't hold up to the heat it basically just melts and drips off while hot then the rest returns to the same consistency when it cools so it can just be ripped off.
