Muffler Paint High Heat - What should I use?
My C5 has 2002 mufflers with the chrome tips which came off another vette. The muffler was painted black but the paint is now deteriorating and chipping off.
What paint should I use that will withstand the heat?
BBQ paint, Engine enamel? Need paint that will withstand the extreme heat from the muffler. Is there a special paint for mufflers. Dont know what the original paint was but was black and is abt 50% gone.

Went with BBQ paint after cleaning muffler and pipes and using paint thinner to get all grime off.
