Hey Guys,

Anyone here ever paint their chrome exhaust black? I know there is high temp paint but how does it look? and whats the best way to do it?

Thanks -

 

From experience, have the pipes grit or sand blasted, then heat proof powder coating.
For me, it's only been mufflers not header pipes with powder coating.

In any case, if you're doing header pipes, the chrome will need to be roughened to allow any paint to adhere to the surface. I've had success with VHT exhaust paint in the past.
Not real durable, but cheap enough to recoat when it begins to look a little shabby/worn.

 

It's not going to hold up just painting over it very well. Powdercoaters hate doing chrome but they will and it comes out pretty good

 

I got my pipes sand blasted to remove the chrome, then hit them with BBQ high temp flat black in a spray can.

 

Yes... there's been hundreds of, if not thousands of members paint their pipes black..

Send them off to JetHot. Mine are painted right now and it's a bitch to keep black.

For the longest-lasting finish, we would recommend finding someone locally to ceramic coat it. Powder coat doesn't usually do too well with prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
