I just went through this.


Eastwood has exhaust paints both spray and brush on good to 1600 degrees. I used the brush on form protection on some headers that were not pretty for protection, turned out OK. I probably would choose the spray if doing it again. A guy on club cobra said he had used the stainless on a funny bike and the coating had help up for 3 years without degrading in looks, so maybe it is a good product. I put mine on, but have yet to fire the engine.

Also, there are some high temp powder coatings that will withstand exhaust temps, but not sure if that is something that would interest you.
