Not sure if this is the right place to post this.........Shoult I paint my exhaust black? I just got ceramic coated headers and need to modify the exhaust to meet up with the collector.

It is a flowmaster mandrel bent exhaust that looks good as the aluminized color but I will have to paint where I am cutting and welding so I thought, color change?

Either way what is a good high temp paint for exhaust?

Ceramic! :)

I've got a great local resource, so I ceramic coated everything from headers to tail pipes. Not everyone can get that great of a deal, though - I realize. I'm very fortunate in terms of ceramic coating and powder coating.

I would love to coat the whole thing but money talks and I feel like my wallet has a muzzle on it right now, :lol:

Any one have thought on the color change? My frame is black and floo pan is bright silver same as the body.

Or recommendations on the type/brand of paint if I do paint it weather it be black or silver?

That looks pretty good! Did you use the 245 primer and the 290 topcoat?

I just used the 245 primer. No topcoat.

It does look pretty good. It'll be interesting to see how it holds up. How much material cost would you estimate for it? I don't know how expensive that stuff is.

I have a couple other projects that I might look at this for.
