    Muffler on a multi-fuel...?

    The paint is Jegg's part number: 318-DAP1690. It is a spray can. Jegg's refers to it as a "self-etching primer". The Jeggs Tech department Assures me the paint can withstand the temp. of this application - and they will stand behind this use of the product. I have yet to apply the paint myself...
