I guess I have a 916 like rear bumper and one the of the POs decided to paint the muffler so it blended in to the back end better. I am not sure the car was running when that happened. It is now and every time I crawl underneath to look at or work on something I get covered with black flakes.
Looks like I will have to take it off and do something with it. It there a suitable hi temp paint for this or some other option that I can look at. I don't really know what the unpainted muffler looks like yet until I get more of the flaking paint off. |

Is it a Bursch by any chance? I'm not sure what the point of the paint they use (or at least used to use) is. The black paint was flaking off mine when I pulled it out of the shipping box brand new. Luckily it completely burned off to bare metal within the first 100 miles of use.
