Cobra 29 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I just ordered the FR500s mufflers for my GT500. We put the same on my son's V6 dual pipe Mustang. I want "black out" the rear cans of the mufflers. Should I use black engine (higher temp) paint? Any ideas on how to prepare the surface so the paint will stick at first and stay that way? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0201212 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Green scrubby and good paint prep wipe should get you taken care of. High temp engine paint should hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT2899 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 use black rustoelum. i know it sounds crazy but i've done it several times on exhaust. it will never burn off and keeps the rust at bay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 use black rustoelum. i know it sounds crazy but i've done it several times on exhaust. it will never burn off and keeps the rust at bay! yes it does work, but make sure you clean them very good before painting, and dont forget to clean the seams very good.

enormous Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I painted the rear of my my Corsa mufflers 4 seasons ago and have 22,000 miles since. I used POR 15 High Heat paint. This paint has held up incredibly well and I highly suggest using it if you can find it at your local auto supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1968 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Black barbecue paint. Very tough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mavisky Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I used flat black engine bay paint for mine and masked off the tips. I also sprayed the actual canisters because from certain angles you could just barely see the canisters from the side of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Powell Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I used some high temp paint and it seems to be doing good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT4578 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 if you can find Krylon high temp paint (has bbq grille on can) use it. It is a lot more durable than the Rustoleum brand. The Rustoleum brand is also thinner and tends to run easier. This is what you want: Krylon 284122 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
