What's the max temperature in "C" of those barbecue paint sprays? I was looking at some exhaust sprays that were 650 "C" but the Camcoat "Chrome" effect coating is about 900 from memory.

No but I could get my hands on one though. I need to take the exhaust off anyway so I can see what sort of condition its really in. The U bend is in far worse condition (no coating- reddy rusty look to it). The rest of it is a mixture of good solid paint and some chipping off of the original coat. As I have little history of the scooter itself I cannot tell when its been replaced from the original - for all I know it could be 15 years old?

Anyway, time for some action and I will take on board comments so far made and report back when I have made some progress!!!

Cheers all!! :)

Here one I did last week.
