Where to obtain heat-resistant black paint for mufflers?
What kind of paint would be able to resist the temperatures that the rear end of an exhaust system reaches and where would I get it?

Maybe DupliColor or VHT engine or exhaust paint with ceramic? One is good to 500 degrees, the other is good to 1200. Mufflers should not get above 500.

I used the Rustolium BBQ paint on mine. I think it claims 600 degrees. It did flake off after about 2 years, though. Just like the stock paint!

I used good old barbeque grill black, in the spray bomb. Cheap and easy, mufflers don't get THAT hot. :cool:

Re: Where to obtain heat-resistant black paint for mufflers? (Oldvetter)
You can get the POR15 type of paint from Eastwood in cans, and it works fine when brushed on. It is self-leveling. No way I would want to spray that stuff near a car.
