After some of you gave me some much needed advice on mufflers (thanks a lot Smile

)
i have bought this 74 made NOS muffler for the square Very Happy

I will fit it latter on this year, when i do some major mechanical work on the car
My question however is, should i just mountit as is? or should i paint it ? how was it originaly? was it just primer ? or was it painted?
Thanks

Thanks for the journey. If it wasnt for the newer cars & the GPS on the dash, you could be driving in 1970's. Well done. Applause

can someone help please?
do i paint that NOS muffler or do i leave it as is?
and if yes with what type of paint?

KTPhil · Posted: Thu Oct 30, 2014 8:36 pm Post subject:

I tried paint a couple of times on VW mufflers, but it just gets burnt off.

I am wondering if the thicker paint actually makes it worse... the hot side against the metal will expand at a different rate than the outside surface, and this will cause cracking and flaking. Also, it insulates it, so the heat can't escape as well. I am thinking the thin primer-like paint VW puts on it is the best that can be done-- the flat finish presents maximum surface area for heat dissipation, and it's thin enough to not crack.

Any other ideas?
