Default Painted the mufflers
I posted this over in "paint" but I wanted to put it here also since I have a question about one of the pictures.... see that big crack????
what is that and is it a bad thing??
** edit - geez. its the reflection of the floor. what an idiot. see post #5

Its the little things that are making me smile today.
My little project today.
Used a scotch pad to clean up the loose material, then Duplicolor high heat primer and Duplicolor high heat black spray paint.

Looks good. Looks like that crack is in the garage floor and reflecting in your paint.
