Exhaust Painting - 400HO/500HO?
 
Looking to paint the exhaust on my 400HO next spring - has anyone done this to their 400/500? What I want to know is will those heat shield bolts snap? Thinking I may try to sand that part of the pipe between shield and shoot paint down between the shield.

if I get the atv good and hot, wonder if the bolts will bavk out without snapping?

I sanded mine down real good and used a baroque black paint so it would hold better. I would guess you would need a good torch set(with oxygen) to get the bolts hot enough to take the shield off. you might try PB blaster spray on them and let them set after a few different spraying to eat the rust if you don't have tanks to heat it up.

A friend said run it till its good and hot, thrn a proane torch and they will come out.

im going to run VHT engine on the pipe, VHT ceramic exhaust and hit it all with VHT clear.

you can try the propane torch, but I would be surprised if it comes out with out using an acetylene/oxygen torch, but good luck.
