One of the things that I dislike is the shiny muffler hanging in plain view on the JK and now JL. I see guys/gals mod away and still just leave that thing unpainted... geeeez...

Anyway, I have been painting the muffler and tailpipe, on my JK's since my first JK in 2007. On the JK and presently with my JL, I use just plain old Rustoleum "Flat Black" spray paint. ($3.75)

It wears well, color looks good, never burns off .... never any issues. Yes, I do respray every few months.

Also, when I was the Jeep, I always wash off that painted muffler.

When I paint the muffler and tailpipe, I just tape off, use newspaper and cardboard ...... to block off over spray to surrounding areas. I do say 3 light coats and let each coat dry for 3 or so minutes before the next coat.

I'm sure it would work...but as hot as it gets, I would rather be safe than sorry for just a couple of bucks. Mine held up with one coat on my 13JK with 40k. never had to touch it up.

How is the hi lift mounted? Pics please
Well ive done a few things so far. Bought a used rhino rack pioneer for peanuts. Got lucky! 200 bucks isn’t coming like that again 77 inch by 54. Installed with Maximus 3 brackets connected to Roll Bar. Looks awesome! I’m a fisherman and always on the beach. Waiting for accessories to come in now and install rack a rod on top. Also Thule cargo box cause I don’t like to fill Jeep in back up and then it looks like my hamper. Arb drawers soon going on. Today looking at installing my Aries running boards. Check them out online there awesome. Wife can get in easily. See some pics of my upgrades I’ve done. Front bumper warn elite series. Warn VR wench. Red shackles with black rubber protectors. Rear bumper with tire holder. Winston. Also red shackles with black rubber protectors. Front and rear hitch mounts. Rhino rack pioneer platform. Mopar back and front rubber mats. Hi lift. That’s getting lowered due to my bat wing awning won’t come around all the way when door is closed. Freakin mistakes! 35 inch BF Goodrich tires KM 3 series or is it 2 lol. Rough country 3 and a half inch lift. Not much to choose from so I went with them cause anything goes wrong they swap out part. Great customer service! Much on the way! Vector mounting system for phone I pad. Pro 6 KC series lights on order. The round ones 8 across. Also 2 side ones on hood. Need the freakin bar which o have to wait air 2 months to install. Freakin Mooar and Jeep raking on the monies not giving out speks on JL wrangler. Greedy bastards! JW speakers lights for for front high beams and tail lights not even started yet at company. Have to wait so I drive around with the stock Junk on for now. Greedy bastards Jeep and mopar! Hope you like photos.

@sirryan

As I mentioned in my post, I have used the $3.57, Rustoleum Flat Black spray paint on Wrangler mufflers since 2007. That's what 12 years, 6 or more Wrangler's that I have owned and never, ever an issue. I will let you spend almost twice as much money for heat proof paint so you can be "safe". :giggle: To each his own....................
