Exhaust Paint ??

Just put on a new exhaust pipe - muffler - OEM - thinking about painting it with high temp paint before it gets rusted up - any recommendations appreciated . Thanks in advance.

 

If it's OEM, I'd just paint the welds. I wouldn't worry about the rest of it.

 

Any rattle can header/high heat paint. You can pick it up at any auto store. Grab a piece of cardboard and use it to prevent overspray on non exhaust areas.

 

VHT header paint. heat up the your exhaust with a propane torch, spray a few coats, then flash it off with the propane torch again.

 

BBQ grill paint or VHT header paint as suggested.

 

The exhaust doesn't get hot when you run the truck ? If I use a propane torch how hot should I get it ? I have Fluke temp gun - thanks

 

I got VHT since that's what Advance carries and that's where I usually go. Thanks.

 

Thanks for the reply and suggestion

 

Sounds like the voice of experience - my exhaust pipes and muffler was solid but the flanges rusted off at the welds and pipe at the back of the muffler rusted out at the weld where it goes into the muffler

 

I would use Rustoleum clear high heat engine paint because I'm not a fan of black exhausts.

 

Kinda makes me want to paint my exhaust tip black to keep with the MGM/Black theme I have going.
