Ok I have trolled NAM and the inter-webz looking for a picture that I just can't seem to find....has anyone seen JCW exhaust with the inside ring of the can painted black?? My countryman's JCW exhaust gets horribly filthy after a 4 mile trip every time......was thinking of painting the inner ring with high temp, flat black, grill paint, so you wouldn't notice if it was dirty....but can't decide if I would like it or not...more of a visual person

Any help would be appreciated!



**yes I know this picture isn't a countryman but it gets the point across haha**

 

That grill paint is not really good. I would use header paint, it is crap too but it will work a bit better. More than likely it won't last for more than 6 or so months. I would powder coat it if I had the budget.

 

Have done it, and the outside of my VIP exhaust. Looks killer!

 

pics please

 

Took me a min. To find brushable high temp paint, but love the results

 

Some powders will hold some heat. Not sure what the tips heat up to.
The issue with powders is it needs to be cured in an oven @350'F. Obviously not an option once installed. The other option is to apply a ceramic coating...somewhat limited to colors and finishes, blacks, silvers, light texture, smooth. These are actually a wet spray and can be heat cured or air dryed with same results.
Ceramic/Cerakote is an excellent product, we have applied this to hundreds of applications from bike pipes, exhaust manifolds, headers, even fire pit screens and grills. Most will hold a constant 1600-1800'F. ppw4services.com

 

I just had my Ak DP/VIP DP back put on. Before instillation I had the tips (including front of muffler) powder coated gloss black. It was not mounted so they could bake it. Turned out GREAT! Too bad the loss of a cat increases the soot put out. After a short drive, the gloss part gets covered up! Still fits the look of the Dread Pirate and the sound is an awesome bass (sound when able).

 

no I'm very happy with how mine came out, and only cost about $15 in paint, despite the fact I have a TON of extra paint now haha

 

$30 here
