My factory muffler's paint (2012 models have a painted muffler) was looking a little chalky, so I removed and sanded the muffler lightly with #400 wet paper. I repainted it with black "barbecue" paint, I believe from either Krylon or Rust-Oleum. It was a perfect match to the original shade and texture, and it seems much more durable than the original finish. I did let it dry for over a week though, mainly because I had painted it in cooler weather. You might wish to try one of those brands. Plus, they're cheaper that VHT. I may remove the header pipes in the future and do them also.
