Is there any paint that works on exhaust?

[SMEGMA STENCH]

Does any paint exist that would stay on exhaust parts and not come off? I mean I guess there is if you count the paint they put on the space shuttles. But I mean that we could actually afford. Just wondering.

bbq grille paint should work, I dont know how long it will last though

The VHT high temp stuff is pretty good

Which part of exhaust? I've used regular rustoleum on tailpipes before with good luck.

Used high temp engine enamel on several cars/trucks for any part of the exhaust midway back, not on downpipes/headers though....

Header. Is there any paint that will stick to headers

I've had good luck with this. Prep work is critical though, as it is with any paint.

Paint no, ceramic coating, yes. There is a place in Arlington that does it. They did my ported E6 for the SVO. Looks good, but does not have many miles or heat cycles because they can't seem to build the turbo correctly.

2 things. Might hard to get use of an over that heats to 650 degrees, and I don't know how hot the headers actually get. I'm sure its nowhere near 2000 degrees lol, but that info might be worth knowing.

Ceramic is the only way to go. They have ceramics you can spray on with air gun then let dry (but you will be wasting your time if they are not blasted first). Then you put them on car an run for a hour and it will cure the ceramic. (http://powder365.com/store/index.php...roducts_id=320). I have always used the ones that bake in oven at 500 for an hour to cure, but I would imagine this would work too if the proper care was taken.

Yes, pay for a true coating and not paint. EVERY set of headers I've ever had or seen that were painted had the paint flaking off and rusting. Not a good look unless for a rat rod.

They got any that comes in a spray paint can? HA. Naw I'm afraid I don't own any of the proper equipment for that. Although that stuff does say that it can withstand only withstand 1200 degrees without discoloring, and the paint the other member posted said 2000 degrees.
