I have a Cuyuna ul II-02 2 cycle engine muffler that I would like to paint since it looks ugly in its natural "Rust" color(No Coating at all).



What sort of paint can I use that will stand up to 2 cycle temps?



I have heard of a heat proof silver paint,  but I have no idea how it stands up to 1400 degrees F.



Suggestions, comments, ideas?

John Deere Black muffler paint. Expensive, ($11 a spray can) and worth it.

I use Krylon stove and BBQ Paint. It works well and costs about $7.00

I used black spray can paint for outdoor grills, etc.  Found it at 

the local hardware store.  It has held up well going on five years.

I dont think your engine would stand 1400 degrees  but You can get your exhaust powder coated and the silver does last the best  on an exhaust system

I used high temperature (rated 1200° IIRC) black spray paint on the exhaust 

on my PPG.  The first 6" or so from the cylinder burned off, but the rest 

is holding up fine.

Check NAPA or any hot-rod store. But maybe only black or silver.

Cermachrome is a ceramic coating. Their charges have gone up since

Mike had his done, it's up to over a $160 for a muffler. Also check

their web site, I don't think they do used parts.
