I've painted headers before and don't see why you couldn't use header paint on the cans.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 1 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am having the Fister mod done to my exhaust as we speak. Have any of you guys painted your own? If you did what did you use? Hows it holding up?

POST 2Original post

Do you mean Fister? Look into high temp header paints from VHT. Napa has a good selection.

POST 3Original post

I've painted headers before and don't see why you couldn't use header paint on the cans.

POST 4Original post

Have FD Motorsports do their ceramic coating while they are doing the Fister Mods.

POST 5Original post

I used the vht high temp flat black on my mufflers and tips. It's been 2k miles and still looks the same.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I’m sure FD does a great job on the coatings but they don’t do it for free. I won’t see the dam things when they are in place so why would I spend $260-$300. I am cool with doing some things myself. I think I found the right stuff Por-15 seems to be the stuff!

POST 7Original post

I used high heat paint on mufflers back in the 1980s to 1990s and it worked fine back then. Probably works fine these days too.

POST 8Original post

I used the VHT high temp paint in non shiny silver color. Got it on Amazon. Turned out great, and looks the same as the ceramic coating to me. Its held up well over the last two years so far.

POST 9Original post

Quotes source post: 15548964

Be very careful with POR-15. Its nasty stuff. I used it to paint a complete engine bay, then used their tie coat primer (old datsun 240Z). I used a respirator - a mask wont do. Also note any bolt hole you cover will need to be re tapped. Its an incredibly hard finish.

POST 10Original post

Quotes source post: 15548964

Por-15 seems like overkill for exhaust unless there is corrosion. Is Por-15 rated for exhaust temps?

POST 11Original post

They have a specific high temp coating and even a rattle can for it.
