Uhh Ohh, i think i messed up

Is it fine to spray paint your scoot muffler with regular spray paint? i painted the front part (header) only of the muffler cause it was corrosive.

The heat is just going to make the paint peel off.

You should pick up a can of high temp pain , clean off all the paint you put on and repaint it, or wait for the paint to burn off on its own then repaint.

will it explode or catch fire or maybe smoke??

[jmkjr72]

It will smoke for sure as it burns off
And yes it could catch fire

ive had 7 people tell me no fire?

[jmkjr72]

It's rare but it does happen I have started dried paint on fire more then once

[jmkjr72]

Paint can spontaneous combust once it 300 deg
Exhaust pipes can reach over 800 deg and chrom starts to blue at 400 deg
Think about it you can have gets of around 1000 deg coming out your pipe

if you build up many coats of paint on the exhaust close to where it comes out of the head and ride it hard it will burn complete with flame trust me i have done on a GY6 engine 4 speed gearbox type

I have burns on my legs not from flames off paint but the lasting burns are from 2 strokes cause the exhaust gets hotter on them

My GY6 had flaming exhaust got stickered by the Police as they couldnt catch me in traffic 72cc 60kmh in second gear

not that liable but dont dismiss it myself things you learn the hard way is lesson learnt
Asking 7 people aint going to change your personal experience is it?

If you don't mind black, BBQ paint is a good option. It can handle 600 degrees F.
It is black, and usually flat black. It is also $3/can U.S. Bonus.

High temp paint works well.
