| High Heat Paint
Has anybody painted their exhaust system from manifold all the way back to the tailpipe?

| Not that I've ever seen, but...
Why? Rust? Astetics?
There is powder coatering. One could likely powder coat anything that will stand 400 degree heat.

| I sprayed the manifold on my old Duster with VHT High Heat paint. It was pretty good. I used standard paint for the intake, which ran right next to the exhaust (slant 6) and it discolored after a few months, but the exhaust looked great.

| Take a look at POR15 manifold paint. I painted the exhaust manifolds on my 97 when I rebuilt the head and replaced the head gasket. I used the aluminium color and it has held up nicely. All of their products have worked great for me.

| tailpipe and...
I want to touch up my tailpipe and especially the small rear muffler, because it shows and it's in solid condition just a somewhat unsightly brownish rust color. Would like high heat black or even silver. Perhaps take a wire brush and some alchohol to said area before hitting it with the paint.

| I just sprayed my manifold and exhaust with Duplicolor High Heat ceramic black, good to 1200. Looks good, $6-$7 at Checker.

You can use much better coatings than powder coating in most all aplications and you can touch up most coatings...powder coating cant be "touched up"
