I noticed how ugly my muffler was and decided to paint it. It took me about an hour to get the thing off of the jeep (probably in the top 10 hardest things I have done in my life). Then I sanded the thing for about 2 hours trying to get all the rust off of it, and man there was a lot of rust. I washed it a few times with dish soap and then with clean water. Let it dry, then applied 3 coats of paint to the entire thing, including the tailpipe. It went back on in about 5 minutes, thank god.

I used flat black engine enamel. Sorry about the weird picture angles, my driveway is too sloped to take a straight on picture... and I can't muster up the care to move it

All in all I'm pretty happy with the results. Hopefully it holds up okay.

 

COOL Any special paint needed for it?

 

Very nice, very clean

 

Looks great! I'm planning on doing that to my cat-back when I have the time.

 

There are lots of different heat resistant spray paints out there, as I found out but I settled on a flat black engine enamal. I think the flat black matches the bumpers/fenders better than gloss would have.

 

Looks nice -
I picked up my paint today and plan on doing it next week as well.

 

i did that to mine w/ grill spray that is said to withstand up to 500 degrees......then i drove from louisiana to florida and it all melted off now its all deformed looking...i wonder if there's anything else i could have done to make iy last a little better....but yours looks very clean and fresh.. great job

 

Very nice job...Doing the same this weekend...Thanks for sharing
the pics and ideas...

 

I just died a little... sorry to hear that and I hope mine doesn't do the same . I guess on the bright side it is a relativly easy fix to sand it all down again. I can't beleive how much they rust, so I feel like to preserve the damn thing it needs some sort of coating on it.

 

Looks really cool. I hope it holds up.
