Painting flowmaster 80 series
 
Hey, so I just received my flowmaster 80 series, Mendrel-bent elbows, and exhaust tips in the mail. They come chrome but I wanted to paint them black to go with the rest of the theme of my jeep. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what to do or use on them? I painted my stock muffler with high temp paint. Thanks for the suggestions

ive painted chrome before. you gotta sand and scuff up the chrome as best you can. use a high temp gray primer. followed by a high temp gloss or flat black. I use a high temp engine block enamel/ gloss. good luck

Perfect, that's what I was thinking I had to do. Thanks!

Do you have any pics of how yours came out, or anyone else for that matter? how has the paint held up over the months/years

Looks good! Have any side shots? Keep us posted on any issues of the paint pealing/rust issues.

BTW what paint/primer did you go with? I was thinking about the por15, would have to order it I believe but if what you use seems to be as effective and pick up locally that'd be nice.
