I am currently running a MBRP dual exhaust system. From the winters around here my exhaust is starting to pit and rust. Would I be able to powdercoat my exhaust black? Does anyone have it done? I would really like to see what/how it would look. Thanks in advance.

 

you could get it coated by a place like Jet Hot or PolyDyn.

Powdercoat will melt off, I think, it gets too hot

 

powdercoating is only good for about 400 degrees before it melts off. Even the high temp powdercoating is not much higher than that. Ceramic coating is the way to go but not cheap. I was quoted $25 a foot to do my stacks and bedkit. went to the auto shop and bought some BBQ paint

 

BBQ paint????? Does it actually work? Hows it look?

 

looks like black exhaust pipe. will post a pic tonight when i get home. darn government computers won't let me into photobucket to grab pics to post

 

I really dont need to do the entire exhaust done. Just what can be seen. Probably would look better with the whole thing done though.

 

cbrahs what did you use?

 

problem is that it is under the truck so it will get pitted and hammered just like it was before it was painted. ceramic coating will get the same way.

 

it may be something to try. anything has to look better than it looks now.

 

just do stacks and be done LOL

 

I just cant bring myself to do it. No offense!

 

Clean it good with Simple Green and a brillo pad. Wire brush it to get most of the rust and corrosion off. Clean with rubbing alcohol. Apply a rust converter like POR-15 or Extend. Then srapy on some BBQ paint.

That sounds like a lot of steps. But you'll get a good looking finish that will be pretty durable and not very expensive.

 

That's what I did, can get either a mat black, or gloss. Careful if it's going on anything chrome, need to steel wool that pretty good if so. It will look so sharp when done!

 

Just look into the back window when you are walking towards the truck and you won't see it.

 

My brother had a 5" MBRP system on his 2007 F-250 that was powder coated black. It never had a problem with the powder coating coming off or melting or anything to make it look bad. It was done by a good reputable place that does quality work. So if it was something I was after I wouldn't hesitate to do it myself. The truck was in Texas so it didn't see nasty roads like up north in the winter.
