Muffler Paint
Posted: Sun Dec 22, 2019 1:36 amWhat paint is recommended for painting a muffler. I know it should be black but should it be gloss black, semi gloss black or flat black. I am restoring a 1954 165.

Posted: Sat Dec 28, 2019 8:38 pmJim, It's good to hear from you. It's been a long time. As far as the muffler paint goes, is a primer needed and should it be a high heat primer? I'm not sure if there is such a thing.

I don't use a primer. This paint almost sprays like primer. Really nice going on. Covers very well.
