I wanted a solution for the muffler on my Cadillac SRX. This model has a rather large muffler that is very visible and in your face which means as the muffler ages , it shows the wear on its surface and puts a dent into the overall esthetics of an otherwise beautiful car. You can always replace the muffler with a new ine but that is an expensive solution because these things cost a pretty penny to replace.. The original colour is Aluminium grey and as it gets older it doesn't look too good. So I cane across High Heat Paints and chose this one over other brands because it is about half the price. I went with flat Black because it not only covers the ild grey well, but also seems to go with the background well and at 2,000F heat rating, I won't have to worry about it peeling off. I didn't use a primer because the primer is basically the same paint with a different colour (nothing special about it according to the detail that I could find) but I sanded and cleaned the surface as best as I could, for good adhesion, then followed with 4 coats, allowing rach coat to dry before applying the next. (Dries to touch in 5 mins). It also has RUST CONVERSION technology which means it converts ore existing rust into a different chemical compound and stops it from spreading. Anyway I have posted a couple of pictures, see what you think
