    Muffler - Gray Paint

    Does anyone have a recommendation on high heat muffler paint that matches the original gray?

    I think VHT makes Ceramic in a can. It's basically a high-temp gray paint with ceramic particles in it. It makes a mess on the ground when you paint with it, but it looks pretty good when all's said and done.

    If you can get it to lay down well it'll look good and last a while.

    Eastwood stainless grey is very close if not right on.
    Buy the one quart can, apply with either foam brush or spray and can be touched up.

    VHT Primer

    I found that VHT primer provided the best color match to original gray..
