Post Painting block and muffler
What type of paint will stay on the block? Will the 1200 degree grill paint stay on the exhaust? Thanks

I used some VHT spray paint on my exhaust (Cheap at Advanced Auto Parts). Sanded all the rust and old paint off before i painted. Looked good for about two weeks then started to show signs of rust. Two months later full of rust spots again. Not worth the trouble. Going to stick with the rusted camo look...

I had to take it off and weld up a stress crack in one of the mounting flanges and I sand blasted it while I had it off. Guess I will go for the sand blasted stainless look.

Do I need to get it hot and give it a good shot of wd40?
