Hi guy's,

My '08 muffler was looking rusty from all the road grime,so I have taken it off and wirebrushed it clean.

Question is, what to piant it with. I have had suggestions of PJ1 to barbicue paint, to powdercoat.

I'm interested to know what you guys think would be best, and have used and know what works.

Thanks.
 
Just got done with mine because of the same problem. I used Krylon bbq grill paint. Looks great as of now and really cheap to do. There are a ton of threads if you do a search as to the results of powder/ceramic coating.
 
it doesnt hold up as well. especially when exposed to gas and oil. my friend painted his cbr engine and trans and it looked great for a while but it started to flake.
 
VHT has ceramic dust in the mix, it works well. I usually touch up the can every year. Looks great.

why use grill paint when there are paints made for that kind of application.

you could also use one of these to brush your teeth
