The Completed Muffler

Once the paint dried I removed all the masked off portion and buffed up the tips to a nice shine. Here are some final shots of the muffler. Hopefully this will last the life of the muffler now.

The total time invested in this project can be broken down into the following, not including muffler removal and re-installation:

• 2 hours to set it up to be wire brushed and wire brushed and cleaning up the mess
• 20 minutes to apply the rust converter (24 hour wait period to dry, this can be reduced)
• 15 minutes to apply the material to fix the crack. (24 hours to dry)
• 1.5 hours to prep the muffler to be painted.
• 2 hours to paint (this includes wait times between paint coats and time it took to clean up and area to paint. Takes overnight to dry)

Total cost was very low. I already had a lot of stuff including the steel wool and the RustMort. Here are some rough prices.

• $5.00 Rust Converter
• $3.00 wire brush
• $7.00 for paint
• $2.00 for steel wool
• $1.75 for exhaust cement crack repair
