Should I Paint Exhaust?
I have to agree with Boxer................
There are better quality paints out there than in years previous, but if you want it to last a good time and look nice, ceramic coating is great.
If you paint, you'll need a high heat self etching primer to really grab onto the steel............then proper prep for the finish coats of high heat...thin coats....new steel before self-etch I usually prep with 400 dry sanding and a wipe with lacquer thinner.
Good luck on whatever you do. 8)
