True duals are going on the car. To make them less noticable under there, as well as to add another layer of protection on them, I'm wanting to paint them. Should I use POR15 or some high temp Duplicolor engine paint? Where would one find POR15 at? I imagine it would hold up better to the elements, but might be more of a pain than its worth.

Not a bad idea Bain. I'll look into that. I guess any Lowe's of Home Depot would have that around here. Damn good idea.

I have duplicolor high temp paint on my setup. No complaints as of yet from elements or anything. Its holding up pretty nice after 2 months. Never heard of the other stuff tho.

I think por15 would be expensive and more trouble than its worth. We always use duplicolor high temp engine paint. The BBQ paint sounds like a good idea too or the stove paint linked above.

POR 15 would work. You can get it at www.por15store.com. The 7.00 can will be more than enough. This is great paint. I have it all over the undercarriage of my car and just finished a horse trailer with it.

I used DEI exhaust paint. Worked great. You just have to prep the system real well or it will start to flake.

I used the high temp bbq paint and the only time I need to repaint, is when I bottom out.Other than that it holds up great.

I've used POR15 on my '69 in a few spots. The stuff works good. I've always just used the high temp stove/bbq paint though. I didn't pay enough attention to see if they had the high temp paint as well. If it works as good as the regular, it'd be a good investment.

if you want to paint it, VHT paints are a million times better then duplicolor....

Probably going to go the BBQ grill paint route. It seems to be the best compromise between price and durability as well as ease of use. I can pick it up locally too, so thats a big plus also.

The POR15 is kinda pricey. I'm just sticking with the cheap stuff.

Here is the link to the POR Hi Temp paint. I would recommend this as a do it onceand be done solution. It may be a few $$ more to start with, but you will not need to do it over.

I used POR15 high temp "cast iron gray" on my
manifolds and it's held up nicely. For exhaust you
might not even need that high a temperature
withstand. But it's good hard stuff. However for it
to cure properly, I believe it -needs- some high
temperature time. Which the exhaust might not
provide it, at the back end. Also the stuff is made
to bind to rust or native oxide on steel, don't know
how well it would do with aluminized pipe for
adhesion.

I used the bbq paint on the hooker catback I just installed. Suggest you clean the pipe with rubbing alcohol first to get rid of any oil/dirt film. It looks so much better painted black.

We used the BBQ paint on my dad's 55 Chevy and it held up really well. I'm going to be spraying my exhaust with it too.
