Good Las Vegas muffler shops?

[Synomenon]

Anyone in Las Vegas know of a good, reliable muffler shop? There are so many of them here and it's hard to find one that won't screw you over and mess up your car.

I just need to have my muffler painted.

I bought some VHT "Very High Temperature / FlameProof" flat black spray paint to do my muffler. I only bought one can though. I hope that's enough. All I want to paint is the bulbous part and all of the pipe from there to the tip.

Just a little problem though. I'll have to bring it to a shop to have them do it because I don't have the tools to remove the muffler. Also, the instructions for the VHT paint says:

After paint is dry it must be cured to substantially increase the durability of the finish and enhance chemical resistance.
Bake painted part at 250F for 30 minutes then let cool for 30 minutes. Bake at 400F for 30 minutes then let cool for 40 minutes. Finally, bake at 600F for 30 minutes and let cool for 30 minutes.

I don't have an oven big enough to fit the muffler either.

LOL, just turn your car on and off to bake the muffler, it's a muffler, nobody will take a good look at it and say "Hey, nicely painted muffler you have, wanna fuck?"

The paint is good for the money, if it's good enough for headers, should be good enough for your muffler. Alternately, you can use a hair dryer or heat gun to bake it.

I don't have ramps so I can get under the car to remove the muffler. I'm not going to paint it while it's still attached to the car. I've never taken any shop classes so I don't know about these things. The muffler is big and bulbous on my car and flat black paint would make it less noticeable.

I don't think a hair dryer can get up to 600F.

Dude, it'll be fine, jack your car up, tape some newspapers around and spray. Heat guns can get VERY hot.

Save your money, keep it stock. No one cares or notices your "bulbous" muffler.

This.

I didn't ask if anyone cares about it. I do though.

Make sure you have the muffler bearings replaced while it is off.

Buy ramps. Remove muffler. Paint. Let dry. Put muffler on. Drive car around for a while. Feel like a moron that you painted your muffler. Profit?

ramps are only 20$

beside what are you assuming they are going to charge you to do this task.



these tasks are pretty much for DIY weekend projects. any MUFFLER shop can be able to do this without a problem otherwise they shouldn't be a muffler shop.
