I say yes but since my RS*R already comes painted flat black, it's up to you: either roll with the bling bling look or go sleeper.

Not to state the obvious, but you should get high temp paint.

I did. Sanded the muffler w/320 grit sand paper. Applied 3 coats of high temp primer, then 3 coats of high temp flat black.

As long as the powdercoating lasts longer then the spraypaint, then it sounds good to me.

just to let you guys know..i dont think its absolutely necessary to use high temp spraypaint on the muffler.. I dont think it gets to a temp hot enough to burn/bubble/peel regular spray paint..

I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to use high temp..but just to let you know, i used just regular ol' flat black spray paint on my stock honda muff, cuz it was getting a little rust on the corner..so i spayed the whole muff with some flat black i had laying around in my garage..it has held up for months now! with no signs of thermal wear! but either way, its all good....in the hood.
