Default Exaust paint or coating

This post is for those(including myself) who may decide to install non-aluminized steel exhaust systems such as the ones available from Hooker. I assume that the untreated plain steel pipes will have a tendency to rust out faster and loose thier new appearance rapidly. What types of exhaust paint or coatings are available to cover these new steel pipes to help prevent rust and maintain appearence?

I know of a few who have used POR-15, and since rust usually works from the inside out, they soak a rag in the paint and drag it through the pipe to effectively seal the inside and outside when they paint it.
