Default Just installed chambered exaust!

Wow! It sounds awesome! I just purchased it the kit from mid-america for $239.00 (on sale) and the polished ss tips for $44.00. I had the local muffler shop install it because my 327 is header equipped and the collectors needed to be welded. It tucks up and out of the way. The system is aluminized (inside and out) so it should look great and last for years. I have aluminized on my truck that I drive in the winter and it still looks new after 3 years. The only thing I goofed up on was the headers, I should have removed them and coated them. They don't look as nice as the rest of the system now. Any suggestions here? Is there a paint that I can brush on that will hold up :confused:
