Matte Black Exhaust Paint? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

swift996 · 02-04-2014, 10:31 AM

I'm getting a cat-back and am not a fan of a polished stainless steel look on the tips. I have some matte black tips on my OEM exhaust now but it looks like the inlet will be a little too small. Is there a good paint to use to coat them to look matte black?

I was eyeing these two:

I've had good luck with the rustolleum brand did my motorcycle exhaust with it and it lasted good, easy to clean.

off-topic but since you mentioned it, I have a 06 zx6r with a two brother's exhaust and the paint on the exhaust tips are chipping off. If I sanded down the chipping paint and sprayed this on, it would be viable, right?

back on topic - what about this paint? it seems like it's used for exhausts: http://www.rustoleum.com/en/product-...ints/high-heat

It should last fine I would imagine. I did my whole pipes on my v-star 1100, held up well
