Thanks for the idea, Phantom. I probably would have done it too, eventually, but you helped expedite the process.

Flat black BBQ paint after 1 yr. Looks fine. I did the mufflers on my motorcycle 11 yrs ago, they're starting to age some....WooooHoooo!!! Soooo much better looking!
I used VHT flat black, withstands temps up to 2000°F (1093°C), not sure that's necessary
Not much prep work for me, just washed it, backed the Jeeps end into the garage for a little extra ground clearance, boxed in the muffler with pieces of cardboard, sprayed 3 coats and then followed the instructions to "bake" it on by running the vehicle then cooling, running, cooling, etc. etc.
A much needed improvement IMO
Thanks everyone :smiley_thumbs_up:

What is it that you used? I was looking into doing this because I do NOT like the muffler.

Any kind of high-temperature spray paint will work. Think header or engine enamel.

I did the whole thing on mine including the tip on the 08. Only had to touch it up about once a year. Of course no more black paint for me. Jeep did me a favor and hid my ugly muffler behind a redesigned bumper

I did mine 15 months ago. Used BBQ paint. Did the tip, too. Its holding up fine, despite getting rubbed in the sand up in Michigan. I did my roomates 2010 Compass, that looks even better. Like I posted earlier, I used BBQ paint on the mufflers of my bike a looooong time ago, still looks ok. Like with any paint job, the trick is surface preparation. Give the muffler a good rub-down with some 00 steel wool first and wipe off the grit.

Weatherman,...Jeep did me a favor and hid my ugly muffler behind a redesigned bumper
What "redesigned bumper" did Jeep give you? For you Pat? Got any pics of it?
Cool, thanks Dixiedawg. I didn't know that, so I'll look for that when looking at 2011s!

Hi!
I´m thinking in this mod, but I don´t know or I can´t imagine the look in my pat... I love all your pats with black muffler, but I didn´t find any inferno red with the silver stripe (limited)...

Not trying to be mean but how bout you take the muffler off and junk it. Put something nice on there, you may like it a whole lot better. Just a thought.

Finally did the black muffler mod. I used hi-temp semi-gloss engine paint. I think it came out great.

After (I didn't miss a spot on the top right... it's just the way the sun was hitting that spot):

Came out very nice! This mod is on my list too once weather gets drier and warmer.
