I have a couple of chainsaw mufflers with surface rust, and wanted to refinish them. I have heard many suggest black high-temp paint, but I was thinking that gun blue solution might work well. Would gun blue be able to stand up to the heat, or would it quickly burn off. Any other suggestions for coating are welcome. Thanks!

Chrome.
Chrome plate, some of my Pioneer saws had chrome mufflers.
Lately just to dress up my work saws I spray them with black barbecue paint that is actually more like a stain anyway, its thin like water and does not peel off as it does not build up layers/film like actual paint does.
If money is not an issue then have them ceramic coated. Ron
BBQ Hi-Heat. NO other color will work. I have tried Hi-Heat silver..........and the exhaust dirty's them up in a day. Stick with factory. Gun Blue is a hi-heat paint????

The chemical bluing is more or less for show...like a vinegar on bare iron effect, i did a 20" bar and it didnt last any time. Actual bluing..may last longer.

I second that!
High temp exhaust paint.
Dupli-Color makes a good high temp paint, I've used it before and it's good.
I’ve used VHT ceramic spray paints with good results. They make engine and exhaust paint with the exhaust paint rated at 2,000 plus degrees. I believe the exhaust paint is called flame proof. Follow directions on the can for prep, coats, and specifically the curing process which is a series of heating it up and cooling it down where you get hotter as you go.
