Which type of dark paint/engine enamel is best to use on your muffler/exhaust? The muffler body is fairly shiny. From the rear, it easily catches the eye. I'd like only the tips to be visible and to see less of the actual muffler itself.

Thanks!

Go off roading with your Xi and drive it through some mud.

I was thinking actually that if I rubbed some crap all over it, that would do the trick. Similar to what I did in your car the last time I was in it...but I did it in the interior instead. Go smell your passenger rear foot well. Get your nose good and in there. Now...what's it smell like?
