Paint for IC pipes

My wife knew I wanted to paint my IC tubes and went to lowe's and got some Rust-oleum in red. I would have liked high heat but wife was being nice

and got this. Will it work, will it hold up? I read the back and said not to be used on anything over 200*. Any advice?

Don't know because you did not post a pic or anything but if you want to keep it from falling apart call Riffraff Diesel. A few of us have gotten powdercoated IC pipes fromthere.

That rust-oleum will work fine. The pipes wont get hot enough to damage the paint. Just get a scotch brite pad and lightly sand them and you should be ok. And dont forget to post up some pics of the finished product, we love pics!!!
