What to use to paint muffler/tips?

[nate714]

So I've been tossing around the idea of spray painting my gt500 mufflers black, but obviously they get pretty hot, so would over the counter spray cans hold up to the heat? Would black plastidip hold up?

Plasti dip wont. Use dupli color engine paint or something similar.

Go to auto zone and pick up some flat black engine enamel paint. That will work quite good. Be sure to follow the heating instructions as close as possible. Usually letting car middle for a few minutes per heat cycle does the trick just fine

We did this to our gt500s. All we used was some high heat spray paint and it held up very well. Also did this to stock and muffler deletes and they all held up well.

I used some high temp vht cans to do mine. Cleaned them good with acetone before spraying then let them "cure" a few days in my hot garage.
Worked good.

I use vht and it works great.

Ceramic coating for the longest lasting finish, but in most cases engine enamel also works well.
