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

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