All I used was flat black exhaust paint. It works fine. |

Eastwood makes a few good high temp coatings. some are brush on, and some are sprays. they work great on muscle car exhaust manifolds so should work as well on a muffler. |

The Drummer's are painted with Duplacolor part #DH 1602 black ceramic. Sand with 320 grit first. |

You can buy it at any auto parts store. |

Flat black BBQ paint of the Wal Mart variety $.99 per can good for year round riding with touch-ups (I'm not a big fan of cleaning and washing my Buells, so YMMV.) G2 |

I second jet hot. Painting exhausts is so 1980's and should be outlawed on Buells. |

its all in the prep work just make sure u scuff it good so the paint has something to stick to...320 is a good idea or a scotch brite pad and some surface prep u can find at auto parts stores sometimes or auto paint supply stores adhesion is key. |

A good wax and grease remover makes a huge difference in how well paint will stick to used motor parts. |
