DeepFreeze2 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 What is the best way to do this w/o removing the mufflers? And what's a good paint? And anyone who has done this, please feel free to contribute your pics to this thread Thanks! Not trying to change your plans, but the mufflers aren't that hard to remove. Having said that, paint choices depend on what look you're going for. How about header, engine, brake caliper or high-temp paint? Any of which can be found at an auto parts/hardware store. YA RLY!!!

mkalbarc Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Going for the flat black look with the crome tips. Would it be easy to remove them without a jack? Is there enough room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepFreeze2 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 You can find "BBQ grill paint" in flat black. It's high temp. There are also some that give a textured (wrinkled) look that may be more durable. Flat black with chrome will look good though. Ramps would be helpful. YA RLY!!! Home of +2500 useless posts!!!!

ralphyralph5 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 it's funny, i was thinking the same thing earlier today while i was polishing my exhaust tips. But i would also like to tint the tips a little maybe to look hypersilver. any recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red beast Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 i used 500 deg black paint and it flakes off just underneath the muffler tailpipe. every other location is sticking well. i'm going to have to scrape and clean that area again and put on a higher temp.

mkalbarc Posted August 11, 2005 Author Share Posted August 11, 2005 ^^ You think you may have to rough up the metal a bit to get it to stick better? Or do you think it may have been a little dirty when you put it on? orrr is it just chipping because of the heat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
