    Question exhaust pipe scratches?

    Not really sure if this is the right place for this but here it is. My exhaust has some scratches on the color not deep in the metal and I was wondering what I can do to fix it or make it less noticeable, or if its even easily fixable. I didnt know if touch up paint would work nor have i seen this color.

    Re: exhaust pipe scratches?

    I don't think touch up paint would work cuz it wouldn't stand up to the heat. Other than leaving it as is, or replacing it, the only thing I can think of is get some hi-temp paint (like for BBQ's) and repaint the whole thing. I know they have a few different colors, but I've only ever seen black and silver, and I think the silver is lighter than what you've got now.

    Anybody else got any ideas?

    how hot does it get? can you touch it momentarily without burning your hand? if you can than i can match the color.

    What about high heat engine paint, you may be able to get a color close to the pipe and at least make it less noticeable.
