I painted the muffler with the hi-temp POR15 before I put it on the 
Fastback, but I wasn't very happy with the results- after a few months, 
it started bubbling up, then flaking off. A lot of it is still on 
there, but a lot has come off also.

It could have been something to do with the way I did it, because I 
have heard good results from other people. Has anyone else had this 
problem with it?
