Painted the axle back exhaust area - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I've painted the visible exhaust pipes / muffler on the past few cars I've owned. Perks of living in the rust belt is crusty looking exhaust bits free -o- charge. Put what really made my mind was not too long ago I was behind another twin on the express way and I really dis-liked the look of the stock parts hanging back there: not the best looking.
Pretty easy to do. Pulled off the tips, painted everything with high temperature black paint, and put the tips back on. Thought it turned out pretty well.

I especially felt the piping looked wierd on the driver's side.

Muffler is painted black to blend in. Looks good OP.

He painted the muffler. Not the exhaust tips which you're probably focused on. You can't see the big silver tub hanging down from underneath.

Does the paint will resist from heat???? does it gonna stay on for a while?

Can probably use engine enamel for applications like these. They tolerate 500-600F, so I don't see why not.

then i guess he was successful, because on my screen it all looks the same shade of black from the rear fog triangle down.
