Forgot to mention, I couldn't find BBQ heatproof paint so I used "Woodstove" paint._________________

I have just stumbled across this thread...and it's something that I am going to try. Only had the scooter 3 months but have noticed a small amount of rust on the exhaust and I don't like it so off to B&Q or Halfords I go!

Is yours a 2stroke? It might get quieter if you repack it. Mine got almost stock-quiet when I finally got the length cut right and repacked mine. I really didn't want to reinstall the 'choker' pipe.

Well I've used Halford spray exhaust paint which helps against corrosion.
I must admit it's done it's job very well! My Honda 250 Spacy has been used althrough the winter with salt on the roads and the rust still hasn't returned.
Note:- I know however the old Honda Spacy exhaust was made of real quality stuff, unlike some of the Chinese offerings which are made of the cheapest tin known to man....  _________________ 2003 Aprilia Atantic 500

Aluminium can't rust. Gets dirty and tatty but can't rust as such._________________ 2003 Aprilia Atantic 500

, not with my spelling though

I need to get mine painted soon. the finish got scraped up and is starting to rust already. Seeing I just cut off the only scooter repair shop, I'm more dependent on this club and online parts shops than ever!
