I am soon going to be making my own STB out of 1 in. steel tubing and wondering if I needed any high temp paint? What I want to do is paint it my body color and since I have a stencil for the PONTIAC logo I figured I would paint that on there gold. How hot would a STB get?

Thanks

 

If your gonna rattle can the brace, I'd use high temp paint just to be on the safe side.Not sure exactly how HOT the brace would get
but ya never can be too carefull.DUECE

 

make sure you wipe it down with alcohol to clean it off

 

I am actually planning on sanding it. What if I used 1200 degree paint for the first coat then use the color I want on top of that?

 

no need for hi temp paint guys!!!! I used the anodized look 2 part paint process for my stb and its not pealing or burning and im running headers so my engine bay is pretty warm. And thing is if it was hot enoght under your hood to burn the paint off of a stb your hood itself would be messed up. heres a pic of my stb...
the chrome letters are vinal stick ones and they anrt even peeling off from the heat.

 

jcurrieirocz- where did you find that stb? Looks awesome,
I imagine since you wound up painting it, it came bare.
Or did you fab that one up?DUECE

 

Thanks for the INFO jcurrieirocz, And also nice STB.

Sure do wish I could just go strait across

 

2 guys last yr were starting up a little shop and selling them...they posted on here quite a bit. I forget there user names but do a search for flatout performance stb (will find you there id and email)......it came primed and the guys were from BC, canada .....i listed there site link from my cardomain site (in links) but the page didnt work last time i tryed it. I think there was talk of a tpi version so who knows what they are doing now??
