Well, I decided to take off my coffee canister, and put stock exhaust back on. I noticed that it was a bit rusty, so I think I'm gonna go on ahead and paint it black. What type of paint and brand should I get ?

 

super hi temp if any at all

powdercoat it maybe???

 

 

it's powdercoat better than high temp paint? how does powdercoat works?

 

powdercoating is a process that uses electricity to bond the color to the material.
then you "cook" the piece and the color comes out.

BTW, if anybody needs any podwercoating done, i can get whatever you need done for a really cheap price.

 

how cheap is cheap?

 

I bought some high temp paint at home depot that should work fine. black too!

 

it work goods but, it will come off by means of road debris.

 

depends on what it is you need powdercoated.
IM me.

 

John Deere Blitz Black implement paint or a decent epoxy to resist rock chips. Not the cheapest but will hold up really good. The muffler doesn't get that warm, you don't need hi-temp paint back there.

 

Are you sure?

 

I actually used a hi-temp black BBQ paint. ive used it on headers and exhausts and never had any problems.

 

High temp paint wouldnt hurt, but it does not get as hot as a header. High temp spray paint is not that expensive, why not buy it?

 

It will come off...the temp. paint will hold for couple of month before it because kinda cooked ash grey color and you can just peel them off.
it's even worst on hxhaust pipe.

 

Personally I would get a cat-back on there and forget about the paint.

 

they want a sleeper look. i guess they are tire of the loud mufflers
and bling bling coffee cans look.
well..me too
I dont they anyone make "sleeper" cat-back system.

 

You can get universal Apexi N1 mufflers in black

 

Yep! too bad they dont have cat back for 6th gen...

 

i was going to paint mine, but i figure that given time the road will dull out the finish for me.

 

I use it to touch up the tailpipes on my '62 Impala about once a year or twice a year. They exit directly behind the rear tires ( factory position ) and take a real beating from rocks, etc. and I was never real big into chrome exhaust tips. As far as heat, by the time the exhaust gets back there it has cooled considerably and I know the Blitz Black can take a fair amount. The grille/BBQ paint suggested by some of the others is a safe bet as well. Take some scotchbrite or fine sandpaper and rough up the surface to help the paint adhere. If you have to touch it up occasianlly so what ? A can of paint will go a long way on something that small.
