Default Those of you who have painted your Y-pipe . . .

What type of paint did you use? Regular body paint? Caliper Paint (Folia Tec)? Also, did you dip it or did you just have the exterior coated/sprayed? Thanks!

Default I would only paint the outside for fear of paint flaking off on the inside...

Even if its a remote chance... I wouldn't risk it.

Default I painted only the top outside, like the factory. It's plastic, so powder coat is not possible.

I used standard (spies-hecker) car paint, exact the same as on the body. I agree with George, don't paint the inside, paint adhesion on the inside would be weak, smooth plastic.

Did you spray it or brush it on?

Spray. Either would probably work, the texture would hide brush marks.
