Painting tailpipe...

I have painted my tailpipe multiple times.....with engine paint....grill pain....rustoleum paint and primer and the shit comes off after a few months. Anyone else have luck with something that lasts?

 

They make muffler paint. Used to use it when I worked for John Deere years ago. Seemed to hold up but A tractor doesn't get quite the abuse and use of a truck

 

possibly needs a high heat primer first. paint doesn't usually stick right onto metal unless it's well prepared by acid based prep cleans, scuffing, and/or priming.

 

I have sanded it and used self etching primer before the high temp engine paint..

 

If the self etching primer isn't high temp, that's probably the issue you're having.

I'll go look for some high temp primer and such tomorrow. Tired of looking at that rusty shit

 

cut it right after it clears the rear axle and turns down.

Problem solved, problem staying solved.

 

You know....I just might. Got a new saw I need to try out anyhow...lol

 

Interested in how this will be taken.

I plastidipped mine 5 months ago and it's still on there. It just gets very dirty.

I'm going to cut it right over the axle for some more clearance though.

 

Thats how I solved this...

 

I used rustolium bbq grill paint. 2 years no issues.

 

I think it has something to do with mud flaps removed and the tailpipe getting sand/waterblasted all the time.

 

My new exhaust hasnt rusted yet but all the paint on the bottom of my flowmaster muffler has been sand blasted off in just a few months. I would buy high temp paint not in a can and apply with a brush nice and thick.

 

have not used this product, but others on here have used the frame coating and it has good reports so far, i got a email from them after i ordered the frame stuff with other products i might like and this one was in it

looks like it might be what you are after

 

I used VHT (very night temp) aerosol paint on my header over a year ago, still looks perfect!! But it is a very matte finish, might not be the look you're going for...

 

Problem solved.....cut it off.....lol

 

I used Permatex rust treatment in a bottle. Brush it on and let it dry. Turns purple for a while but it dries a dull dark gray.
