VHT hands down, flameproof 2000 deg

What FWB said. I used it on mine and it lasted very well.

Why not try Cerakote coatings, much better protection from abrasions, corrosion.

Agree.
Once you have used a ceramic coating, paint just doesn't cut it.

VHT black flameproof is your best choice for paint, reasonably good life.

That's any interesting way of reducing the heat to a heatproof painted surface.

Might try it one day.

Cerakote offers a wide spectrum of colors for their ceramic coating, more so than Jet-Hot. I'm wondering if the paint over the ceramic will hold up given the ultra smooth ceramic surface.

Is Cerakote easy to work with?

Personally I would use one of their listed applicators. Having said that most of the Cerakot people I've come across are using Cerakote on high end firearms/optics.
But I'm sure even they could do a exhaust as well.

The process is a little more involved than a basic DIY.
