Robboo Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Okay so following off my last thread http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/66227-japspeed-k1-question/#entry983226 Dblock mentioned painting the japspeed k1 bungs black to make it look as if the bungs arnt there (if that makes sense!). Now Ive decided this might be worth a go. But how would I go about doing it? Would I need high temp paint I take it? And do you need to use primer with high temp paint or anything? Any advice would be great Cheers Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 You will need a high temp paint IMO, when you've found what you need follow the recommendation they give for different materials/primer/prep etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 BBQ spray paint. That's exactly what I used on my K1 bungs, and it came out perfect. I might even have given them a coat of acid etch primer first, but I can't remember now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisS Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Think what Mike is saying is :- BBQ paint = High Temp Paint B&Q paint = B&Q paint So what you want is O's not Hose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT4 Zed Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I did this on my k1 waaaay back! Used normal matt spray can paint from halfrauds after passing over lightly with grit paper. never cracked or came off. Mind you my zed was tuned to run rich at the top on my UTEC so the exhaust cokes quite a bit and maintained the paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
