Anyone had any experience of this stuff? POR 15 Rust Preventative paint

http://www.frost.co....ainting_v35.pdf

Found it mentioned on classic car website whilst hunting for exhaust paint options past Sperex and PJ1 etc, and it was rated.
Have a Laser pipe to fit and I want to coat the downpipe to silencers connector before fitting, and was thinking of doing downpipes before the winter weather commuting starts as they are going a bit. Was going to redo the starship Enterprise once it off too.
Looked at Ceramic coating as previous thread mentioned this lot

The US of A peeps use it ALOT as a chassis paint. I was not aware of it being suitable for high temp stuff like exhausts though. I used a matt black high temp paint when I restored the enterprise and it came up fine after careful preparation.

it might be really helpfull to ring a shot blast shop to get the zorst really clean.i had a xt350 one done years ago & he only charged £3.-not worth getting hands dirty for that amount of money.+ no rust.

There used to be some stuff around years ago called "Pot Black" it was made to be painted onto air cooled finned engines and the twice I used it it never came off, even around the exhaust ports. I cured it after painting by cooking the bits in the oven, stunk out the kitchen and got a right bollocking. She's never let me strip a bike in the kitchen since. Them were the days!!!!!! OOH Nostalgia AAH

I have used Plasticoat high temp spray paint in the past on a CBX750 and that stuff is fantastic, hard as rock and simple to apply.
Take down pipes off, remove any rust, muck, grease etc and give several light coatings of the black spray paint. when dried hard to touch you can refit on bike and leave on tick over till engine reaches normal running temp. Put bike away till day after and you have a set of georgious black down pipes that can withstand some serious heat and ready to run throu winter no problem.

What kind of preparation? I was thinking of painting my bash plate before I put it back on.
I know it will get knicked... can always repaint.....

What kind of preparation?

As Fish mentions, the removal of any rust, grease, grime etc. I gave my set a good blast with a wire wheel.
