I saw a picture of a car that had painted their exhaust with what looked like the Black Velvet from POR 15 (the high temp paint). It looked awesome, a nice satin finish. Has anyone done something similar, my exhaust is all rusty and nasty looking? Post pics please if you have them.

 

When I got my exhaust done the shop that did it painted it with some type of high temp paint I believe. After 9 months though I need to repaint it.

 

I painted mt tips ant part of the mulfflers that you could see from the outside... i used high temp Grill paint. looks good for a few months the i just respray... my crome tips started turning blue thats why i painted it.. i think it looks better black anyways

 

Pretty much the only coating that will withstand those temps is high temp powdercoating or ceramic. I would not paint the exhaust. Even the tip gets too hot for paint.

 

Agreed. I bought black powder coated tips once from an exhaust shop and within a few months the paint was coming off.

 

For what its worth the paint its good till 1200 degrees, here is a link to the pic. I would ask the guy how its held up but I don't have an account there

I dont hav a proublem with the paint comming off... it just fades so i repaint to makt it blace agian

 

I painted mine with BBQ grille paint that withstands temps of 1200 degs, thats what it said on the can. I havn't looked at it in few months to see how its holding up, but after about 6 months it was fine. Btu you also can't really use me as a judge for how its going to hold up since in the last year 16 months I have only put on 5000 or so miles.

 

if you look in my gallery i have pictures of my tips painted black... i used high temp grill paint but before i painted my tips i cleaned them and sanded them and then cleaned them again... my paint has held up well its been almost year, you should do it blac tips look good
