Rust-Oleum Tremclad® Oil Based Rust Paint in an aerosol can (model 27006B522, Silver/Aluminum, 340 g, Gloss) is formulated for durability and rust prevention, but it is not designed to withstand the high temperatures typically associated with car exhaust systems.
Temperature Resistance: Tremclad rust paint generally withstands temperatures up to approximately 200°F (93°C). This makes it suitable for most metal surfaces exposed to outdoor elements but not for high-heat applications like exhaust pipes, which can reach temperatures of 400°F (204°C) to 1200°F (649°C) depending on the engine's operation.
For Car Exhaust Pipes: For painting car exhaust pipes or any other high-temperature surface, you should use a high-heat resistant paint specifically designed for automotive or industrial applications. These paints are often rated to withstand temperatures up to 1200°F (649°C) and are specifically made for surfaces like exhaust systems, grills, or engine parts.
If you need to paint car exhaust pipes, consider using a product like Rust-Oleum High Heat Spray, which is designed for such high-temperature environments.
