Default So I've checked Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, and Sears harware for a paint

to spray my y-pipe. All of the "high-heat" paints seem to be for metal only. Any ideas on where to get a higher temp spray paint that will adhere to plastic?

Default It doesn't get that hot. Otherwise the plastic would melt. Think of all of the plastic and rubber

parts at the top of the engine.

Default Just use standard spray paint and then a high temp clear from Kragens or Autozone.


That's what I did and have not had a single issue. And I've done two different colors.
