Greetings from the Great White North,

I've finally completed the header fabrication and side exhaust installation on my Contemporary, and would like to go with a flat black paint. Everything is new mild steel and will be blasted first.

Any tips or recommendations on paint manufacturer/supplier of choice, final prep, or other issues that I can pass on to the body shop - painting exhaust parts is not something most people don't do themselves behind the garage, but I'd like the product to stick.

I acknowledge this will be far less effective than the ceramic coating, but I like the look of a satin black finish, and would also like to get the car out before winter sets in (I'm already 4 months behind completing last winter's project!).

Have a great one.....Denis
