Default What paint should I use for my skunk2 silencers?

Hey I wanted to paint my removable silencers black for my skunk2 exhaust. I was wondering what type paint would hold up against the heat of the exhaust? Regular black spray paint ? Thanks for your feedback...

Engine paint would be the most durable. Should be available at any car parts store

I prefer the High Heat over Engine Enamal but either should be OK.

I used BBQ paint on my silencers and they're starting to chip off. But then again, I went completely lazy and didn't sand before I painted. Maybe I'll do over with engine paint.
