That's great info, Troy !
My muffler-less track pipes are painted with the el-cheapo white rustoleum BBQ paint too, and the only affect on them has been a slight tan discoloration, but the paint has adhered well, and isn't flaking off, either.
But when I decided to paint my muffler'd pipes white, I went with the more expensive VHT product, since these pipes are on the car way more than the others are (90%-10%)
maybe after I sand off the VHT, I'll just run to HD and pick up a couple cans of the Rustoleum again....
