    So some of you guys might remember a thread I made a while back about painting the radiator... Now I'm wondering about painting the exhaust tip. I got a free tip from Aero Turbine with my order of the 2525 muffler: http://www.aeroexhaust.com/index.ph...5f-2-5-inlet-3-5-outlet-flat-exhaust-tip.html

    I was wondering if I could use the RustOleum High Heat Primer and Paint to paint it, or would it not stick. Would I have to sand it like crazy? I don't know if I would want to ruin it.

    Should I just spend the money to have it powdercoated and if I powdercoat it does it powdercoat the inside and affect the air flow?

    I am not positive but I will say that I don't think that powdercoating an exhaust tip will work... There is just too much heat involved. That is my guess, I really have no idea. If it will hold, doing this to the inside won't have any negative effects. Powdercoat is not thick enough to decrease the diameter enough to make it really matter.
