'05 Sportivo Stock Muffler Paint Peeling

[CheekySportivo]

Hi Guys,

After cleaning my car over the weekend I noticed that a little bit of the paint has come away from the

back end of the muffler exposing the metal.

Being the perfectionist that I am I just thought I would get anyone's feedback in firstly asking-

1. Is this normal even though the car is only 1 year old

2. Can you patch it up with the original paint colour? If so how can I find out the mufflers exact colour?

I thought by patching it up it might make it look worse and more noticable with a fresh bit of paint on there.

Hope im not being too fussy here as I know the exhaust heat does tend to peel off the paint but i thought i would have a couple of more years before this would happen as I have seen older Sportivo's which look good as new!

Appreciate anyone's comments.

Cheers

:D

You can touch up, you just need heat proof paint available anywhere.

the back end of the muffler is painted a charcol/almost black matt finish.

all sportivo's factory mufflers are like this.

i think you will be after matt black and as IZZ-FE said get heat proof paint as the muffler gets hot.

Some 05's are sir. My factory muffler is chrome. 03's were unpainted I think, 04's were chrome, and the 05's were predominantly blackish I think.
