Jenny Pryde Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Looking for a heat/petrol resistant lacquer that can be used to protect both bare metals and painted metal surfaces. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l3ddy Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 What kind of heat are we talking? Rattle cans or proper gun job? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefatman Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 2 pack is what you need. Single pack aerosol doesn't work, well not for any length of time Is it for exhausts? If so you could apply 2 pack with a brush if you don't have a spray gun. If you do have a spray gun then assuming you've not got an airfed mask and spray booth make sure you spray it outside with a suitable respirator a disposable one is only about twenty quid.

thefatman Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Actually according to HSE you should only spray with a airfed mask now not a respirator, but here is one. Spray outdoors so the overspray can disappear into the atmosphere and there's a chance you might not die. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gerson-2k-Paint-Face-Mask-Smart-Repair-2-Pack-Car-Industrial-Paint-FREE-POST-/221274883509?pt=UK_Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint&hash=item338502c5b5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Pryde Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Just looking for rattle can lacquer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefatman Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 In that case take your pick as none of them are very petrol resistant. PJ1 do good stuff generally so probably go for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilchicken0 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I've used halfords PU laquer for the engine cases on my project bike. It's supposed to be for wheels but it seems durable enough, given how many times I tried to repair the bloody petrol tank. It might be ok on the engine block but probably not on the exhaust.

fredator Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 You can get 2pac clear laquer in rattle cans also :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banoffee Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Halfords do / used to do a petrol-resistant lacquer in a rattle can. Used it years ago on a black tank I'd sprayed. Worked a treat. Might have stopped doing it due to it contains kittens or suchlike now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesviffer 750 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 The PJ1 stuff seems to be the best can stuff, worked ok on my pipes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipringle Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 as already said, you can now get 2 pack in rattle cans, got to be better than normal canned laquer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
