Handy Don 12,255 #2 Posted February 16, 2021 Hi-heat paint worked just fine for me. Does stink for the first 10 minutes when you run it after the paint cures! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,717 #3 Posted February 16, 2021 Pop the muffler off and use BBQ paint. Read the directions!!! It'll need to be baked to cure correctly. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,624 #4 Posted February 16, 2021 High temp paint, Grill Paint, VHT header paint. They will all work well. I have found that if you build up several layers for a thick finish, you may have issues with the paint pealing. I tend to do about 2 coats maximum. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,372 #7 Posted February 16, 2021 For best results you should remove the muffler, sand/bead blast it clean and then use the 2000 degree primer and 2000 degree paint following the instructions on the can. The most important thing is to bake the paint onto the muffler. Bake at 250°F (121°C) for 30 minutes and allow 30 minutes to cool. Bake at 400°F (204°C) for 30 minutes and allow 30 minutes to cool. Bake at 600°F (315°C) for 30 minutes and then allow 30 minutes to cool. Caution: Be sure not to exceed the heat tolerance of the least heat tolerant part. If you fear that the wife would kill you the alternative process would be to follow these steps. Run the vehicle at idle for 10 minutes and then allow 20 minutes to cool. Run vehicle at idle for 20 minutes, then let cool for 20 minutes. Run vehicle at normal operating conditions for 30 minutes, then allow vehicle to cool. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
