I have a wrangler and alot of people paint them black. They use high temp paint that i think is good for grills etc. You should be able find it at any home depot.

painted mine with satin black BBQ grill paint, painted the exhaust tips with semi gloss black paint.

Yup, nothing more needed than can of rustoleum bar-b-que satin or flat spray can....every new car I get has had the under rear sprayed, esp the camaros with their ugly suitcase muffler. Don't overthink it, wipe everything down with alcohol and then spray it .

Make sure to read through to the second page to get a photo of the paint I used as well as a bonus photo showing where I painted the inside of the muffler tips with the same paint.

As Glen e said - don't overthink it - just do it. Mine has been painted for over a year now and looks just as good as the day I first did it.

Did you paint it on the car and how did you paint inside the tips without any over spray

Yes I painted the muffler on the car. I just taped off around it to protect from over spray after I cleaned it like Glen e described. Then I got down on my back, reached under there and sprayed away.

For the muffler tips I cut the toe end off a pair of old gym socks and slid the toe end first over the tip until the tight elastic top covered all the exterior of the tip - leaving only the interior uncovered. Then I spray painted the inside of the tips. I had just a tiny bit of overspray. I used a Q-tip dipped in solvent to clean off the overspray.

Go for it - have fun! It wasn't hard. Just take the time to prep and clean the surface plus tape off a little to control overspray.

BBQ grill satin black paint on the bottom of the muffler did the trick for me.

I just rattle canned it with some low gloss black Rustoleum. I don't remember which one I bought, as it was a year ago, but it was high temp. So far, so good after a year.
