I want to paint the canister of my N1 exhaust flat black but leave the tip polished. What would be the best way to go about painting the metal? Procedure? Type of primer/paint? etc...

 

scuff the canister and cover up the tip with newspaper and tape. take your time!

good luck.

be sure to use high temp paint, so when the muffler get hot its wont bake off your paint,. And pick up some lite sandpaper to the can so that the primer will have something to stick too.

 

Use the High heat BBQ paint stuff...Works good! And make sure to use a good degreaser of some sort to clean it before hand!

 

Pep Boys high temp. paint, and water sand paper. ;}

 

Ya pick up some lacquer(sp?) thinner to clean it just before you start spraying.

 

I don't even use sandpaper, the hi temp paint sprays on so dry that it's not necessary.

 

i dont think i'm even gonna paint my canister anymore. I'm just gonna sell the cat back and get something else that's quieter and doesn't stand out as much.
