Hey Chris I know you sometimes reply to your really old vids but I'm kinda lost and taking a shot! I have an old car with a rusted exhaust shield above the cat that you can now poke holes through. I've removed the rivets and the shield itself and I'm looking at ways to replace this.
Since it's an old car I doubt I can find the exact part number, so I'm thinking of buying a steel plate, shape it into a shield and paint it with some exhaust level paint. The problem is I can't decide how thick the metal should be. I have to choose from 0. 7mm to 1mm, 1, 2mm, 1. 5mm and 2mm. Which one is best?

Hello! I was inspired by your video and was interested in doing this to my Toyota Tacoma 1999. I am sanding the pipes starting from my exhaust, past my muffler, all the way to my intermediate pipe. Doing this process while watching your video made it really easy! Ohh and I also had a question. Im doing this also because It is specially formulated to prevent rust so I was wondering, how is the exhaust holding up in your Mazda? Is there any rust spots at all since youve done this project?

Chris, I know this video is pretty old, I'm just wondering if you still have the vehicle and how to paint held up and preventing rust. I recently bought a vehicle from the north and live in the south and I'm doing this same technique. I'm also wondering if primer is necessary or if just the straight paint works as a preventative measure for rust. Love your videos thank you man!

RO high heat is great and all, but not priming on a rust prone exhaust, well what he didnt tell you is that it didnt last.
