Looks good. I can tell you that the OG M2 muffler and pipes get extremely hot so even using high temp paint may not be enough to last a long time so don't be surprised if you have to repaint from time to time. I had some IND black chrome exhaust tips (first set they sold) and after a track day the black chrome peeled off. Since then they have them coated with 1200 degree F ceramic coating. Even with that coating you can see slight color changes over time. Successful paint is all about the right prep and right product so this is a good thread to keep alive in the technical area as folks learn more about how to do this successfully long term.

I've been looking for a reason to experiment with Cerakote high temp ceramic coatings. For sure that isn't the easiest DIY thing to do and couldn't be done in situ. From personal experience, paying to have firearms ceramic coated; it won't be cheap. I'm guessing $300-$500. OP proves that blacking it out hides the bulbous exhaust well though.

Used the same spray paint in my m3 after I did the mpe mod. Holds up well.

Did you do any track days? I've done powdercoat and ceramic....looks good until a few laps and then it burns off.

I ended up buying tips that were already black from the manufacturer. I tried powdercoat and ceramic....both burned off after a track day. I think I had them burn off after a dyno day as well.

OP painted the muffler box, not tips. Competition tips are black from factory.

That looks ridiculous - I would love to see that car attempting to take a corner...

OP, can you tell us the procedure you used to cure it?

It's about time someone did this! Nice job OP.
I wouldn't powder coat it, waste of time and $$$. If it ever flakes off just touch it up with the rattle can, inexpensive and easy. The correct procedure is listed on the can, a series of coats and heat cycles for proper adhesion. |

If there was longevity concerns, ceramic coating it would be a good solution.
I've used ceramic coating on exhausts, exhaust manifolds, and turbine housings; on turbocharged race cars, and have never had an issue with flaking. |
