Whatever you do, prep work is key. Sandblasting and cleaning extremely thoroughly. I masked off the V-band clamps when I did ours, just to keep from causing any interference problems.

Probably better off spraying it, I've never painted it on but I think it'd look better with it sprayed on and probably get better coverage.

It need to be sprayed on. I forget the exact thinness but it's thin. Too thick and it'll come off they said

HAs anybody tried the POR Exhaust paint version? I've used some of their other products and am pretty happy.

Have you noticed that it lowered the under hood temp? I'm considering buying some to to coat my hotside.
