Just dropped my muffler off at the local powder coat shop. One guy there expressed concern with the heat and another thought it would be ok.
I don't really know how hot the Triad muffler gets while running. I do have the SS HEs. so some cooling of the exhaust is happening before it gets to the muffler portion. don't have any ceramic coating places around that I am aware of, or I would go that route. Has anyone had their Triad, or other muffler powder coated ? An I just asking for problems here? |

I cleaned mine up and stripped off old stuff and then did high heat primer and high heat silver metallic paint - 2 years ago and so far absolutely no pealing or bubbling- still like I just did it. Takes some work - you could ceramic coat it , Jet Hot Coat or such or what Mark suggested. I did it myself, so far so good

Takes some work - you could ceramic coat it , Jet Hot Coat or such or what Mark suggested. I did it myself, so far so good I was hoping you would chime in. I saw yours and it looked good. I thought you had it ceramic coated. I have used the high heat VHT paint and the back was getting chipped up, probably from the stones hitting it. For now I am going with the high heat powder coat. I originally wanted to do it in a silver color, but they only have the high heat in a satin black. supposed to be good for 800 deg. so that's what I will get. Considered the Jet Hot Coat because of the availability of silver color. That may be an option for another year or so if this doesn't pan out. for now I didn't want to ship out my muffler to have it done. |
