Painted the forward facing sides of the mufflers so you don't see the rusty parts from the muffler tip area.

Alternatively, you could do this

Instead of painting the mufflers, you could do this modification:
Exhaust filler plate painted carbon flash

Two screws bolt the two panels together.

Installation takes 3 minutes.
