Painting IC Pipes
For those that have painted your IC pipes. Did you use high temp paint? I think I want to go with International Red but have not found it in a high temp at all. If you have used regular paint how is it holding up?

Mine are naked, so I don't know. I don't think it get so hot that you have to use hi-heat, or maybe you do.

I used a high temp red that I bought from O'Reilly's. It seems to be holding real well so far.

I agree with rick i dont think it gets hot enough to melt paint if you will. If it did your truck would prob run like $#!% because of such high temps. Now i wouldnt go painting ur up pipes and downpipe to match the engine bay
