Re-spraying exhuast , how ? and what do i need?

as my bike is erm , well lets say seen better days and im having to get wobbly to fix it im thinking of resraying my exhuast, i was just wondering whats the best sand paper , paint or anything else i would need to spray the exhuast black. and before the comments like look at the quides section or anything along them lines then i allready have and cant seem to find anything telling me what i need and what to do in order to spray an exhuast .
Cheers stennett

 

spray it with petrol

then throw a match at it and take pics so i can see.

in all seriousness, sand down til its smooth using whatever grade of paper u like as its not that crucial, vht is pretty thick, then give a good coat of vht paint.

but seriously, vipers are rubbish.

 

yeah i know vipers are awful mate but i was getting a laser till the bike broke now repair bill comes before new exhuast so i just want to make it look abit more tidy , jst sand down and vht paint? no primer or lauquer?
cheers Stennett

 

ahh right i understand

nah, no primer and no laquer, just a rub down and a clean, then a good coat of vht

 

i use wire brush attachments if the exhaust is rusty, then scrub a bit with a scouring pad and some anti rust treatment, its a lot quicker than sanding anyhow

 

cheers lads for the quick responce seems as its so cheap to do and seems easy (havent tried yet lol) im regretting not doing it sooner , and begining to think why dont more people do it lol makes bikes look so much better .
i didnt realise how cheap vht paint is , i thought it qould be more expensive.
Also while the exhuast is off anything else i should do to it, any other tlc should i attend to ? i read sometihng about de-carbonating them some where should i be doing this aswell?
