Aircooled VW South Africa

I'm looking for grey heat resistant paint that can be used for the stock look on Beetle exhausts. Does anybody know of a local (South African) source?

Will this not work

VHT cans - available at midas

Looks like this one can handle higher heat

no it wont work, thats made for the exterior surfaces of an engine
500F is only 260degC, exhaust gas at idle is hotter than that

This is 1093 degC

This also looks like a good suggestion, assuming the exhaust doesn't get hotter than 1093 deg C. Thanks @spicydave. I'll check out my local hardware.

Thanks Tony, I'll have a look at Midas.

You'll probably find VHT at hardware stores and builders warehouse too
But I know for definite that Midas sells it - it was next to the VHT caliper paint I bought a few weeks ago

Thanks. I expect Midas to be the most expensive, but I'll have a look around.
