I'm giving my credit to The Green Lantern for the idea I saw somewhere else on the intranets..

So what did I do? I blacked out my muffler. LOL! Sounds stupid, I know, but it makes the truck look better than before (especially since I'm going with a "black box" theme for my rig).

How did I do it? I just bought Duplicolor Engine Enamal spray (in low gloss black). The paint is advertised as being able to withstand 500 degrees, so I hope that my muffler doesn't get that hot. All I did for prep was wipe down the muffler with a rag, and spray it on. WARNING: if you're going to do this, don't try to paint after you drive, you need to let it cool down for it to adhere and all that. I went with a friend to autozone, so I didn't have to wait for any cool down time.

Ok, so I'll shut up & post a pic now:


What do you think?

 

Something I would have never thought of, it looks good![sm=smiley20.gif]

 

Thanks, I wouldn't have thought of it either if The Green Lantern didn't do it to his rig in the first place. It doesn't make the muffler look any better or any worse, you just don't notice it anymore. Which, considering the accountant imposed looks of the muffler, is a good thing

 

Looks good, nice Euro touch! Next time I pass Autozone I'll pick up the same rattle can and give it a go too.

 

Looks good..But you might want to get back under there and give the Diff cover a shot of that black paint..looks like a little rust on the ole pumpkin cover on the right side

 

Looks good that paint will hold up.

 

Paint it ALL, Paint it ALL. GO FOR GOLD!

 

Looks great!! This one can hold up to 1,200 degrees heat.

 

Riddler, you've got a PM

I couldn't find that one, so I hope that the one I used doesn't crap the bed after driving for a while...

edit: alright alright, I'll paint it all... I just gotta wash everything under there first [:@]

 

Please hope Dennis does not see that undercarriage.
Dennis if you do i hope your sitting down and hold onto your heart.
