Make sure to sand what needs to be painted. You will want a slightly rough surface for the paint to stick too. You can use a high temp paint from a autoparts store and use about 3-4 coats and a clear coat to finish. Make sure to let dry completely between coats.

Oh boy. Shameless pic-post thread. Yippee.
I used Duplicolor High Heat (1200 degree F) paint.
Needs to be cured at 300 degrees (I just ran the car up to operating temp, then shut it off). Holding up fine so far.
This paint is meant for headers, so it should stick on exhaust fairly well.

High temp clear? I have not seen that anyplace, I bet it looks good.

I painted mine black with some High temp paint from Home Depot. I think the paint was made for grills. Be sure to clean the mufflers first. I used acetone to remove any dirt or oil. It turned out great.

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I went with the "Bar-B-Q-Black" by Rust-Oleum Specialty High Heat. Cleaned mufflers real good and just used a spung brush, dried to a very light satan. Thanks again for the help.
