Painting inside of exhaust/muffler?

2M · 08-30-2011, 02:01 AM

I just got my Dimisa tips for my 328 E92 and I wanted to ask if I could paint the inside of the muffler with black spray or something. Is there such spray for mufflers? The edges inside are really shiny and they bother me. Thanks guys!

Just get high heat spray paint and make sure they're clean before you spray. I made the idiotic mistake of spraying the inside of my TL's mufflers with regular paint and it began to bubble almost immediately.

Youre Right Installed Way Towards The Inside Recommend Extend Outwards By 3in ,if Its Chrome I Think You Have To Do Some Shaving So That Paint Could It Stick Otherwise Itll Jus Come Off In Time Good Luck

Dont do anything, black soot from exhaust will take care of it in a few weeks.

This. It stains the inside on some parts of the tip, so its just what you're looking for. Permanent.
