Chainsaw Repair

I have been doing some muffler experiments and thought I would also test some different paints. As said earlier I tried DEI high temp from an auto parts store, then went to Home Despot to get tire rust reformer and grill paint Shep uses, whilst there I noticed Rustoleum HT automotive paint so got a can of that. So far on the five mufflers I am working with I have this to report.

DEI as applied it provides a slightly burnished appearance. More than one light coat is necessary to get good coverage. Must be baked on @400° for 30 minutes to fully cure. If you aren't meticulous in your prep it will flake off.

Rust Reformer works great

Rustoleum HT automotive flat black when cured for 30 minutes @250°. Two light coats for good coverage.

Grill paint, have not tried it yet.
