To be honest I'd say don't waste your time and money. I've tried all sorts of high temp paints but haven't yet found one that will last any time on an exhaust.

Agree

The expansion and contraction with heat, combined with the exposure to the elements with stones etc is a tough ask for a paint + if its corrosion protection you are after; you can't paint the inside Confused

I might just get a cheap spray as it'll only burn off anyway.
