What paint to use on exhaust/engine?

[Tototex]

Im painting my m51a2 dump. Its CARC 383.

I am using Behr paint which of course can't be used on the exhaust or engine.

What should I use to paint my exhaust pipe/engine?

I was concerned about getting the colors to match.

Also, are there any concerns when painting the top of my engine. Was kind of thing about just spraying over EVERYTHING with the airless.

Thanks in advance!

I put this dump truck to work. Was hoping to find something that will last. I might just grab the closest color in high temp grill paint I can find.

That's exactly what I would recommend. I've done mine in mat black grill paint with no issues and several long trips.

The barbecue paint works well. Lasts a long time.

I have used black ceramic exhaust paint on a tractor. Goes on nice. Once dry, when you heat it up the first time it starts curing. The surface was smoking like crazy. I thought it would catch fire. Once done with that it is fine now.

I took easy work black for engine and exhaust, perfect.

as was mentioned ceramic exhaust paint works pretty well and will last pretty good also! I am in process of removing headers off a vehicle and I am going to powder coat these with a real high temp power coating, it is supposed to work great and withstand very high temps for many years. I am anxious to try it and see how it goes!
