What did you use to paint the exhaust?

First I stripped it thoroughly with the strip pad below then I cleaned it with Acetone then used two bottles of the PJ1 paint.

just making sure it wasn't a generic enamel...if it was you'd have to sear it onto the pipes or it would turn white and corrode the metal.
