I recently purchased an NOS Walker T3 muffler. I was wondering
if I should prep and paint with POR15 silver hi temp to keep
rust at bay. I know it won't help on the inside. How long does it
take to rust from the inside?
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?
