So the mufflers are getting a bit rusty on my "ninjette". i have them sanded and ready to paint, but the question is what color? My bike is the green and purple scheme. i dont wanna stay black just cause i want it to be different.

Well, you're limited to whatever colors high temperature spray paint comes in. On a green/purple bike, I'd go with yellow.

I'd polish them, lol

I want to make mine black, but that would require not riding, which is not an option.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
