Plasticote  Makes a Silicone Base Exhaust Header Paint for Cars.If you can't find the Plasticote brand look for something that Duplicolor Makes at Auto Zone it will either Have Silicone or Ceramic in it. :thumb:
If it's Not Broke Modify it.

I wrote that article, let me know if you have questions

How many cans of paint did you use on your exhaust?

The BBQ grill paint works OK, and lasts a couple of years. I did the exhaust on my bike last summer, and plan on redoing them again this summer. I figure it isn't really that much work, and pulling the exhaust once a year will help keep the header bolts from getting rusted on so badly.

1 can will cover an exhaust with some left over.

Would engine enamel work for the exhaust. I know it looks pretty descent on my dual exhaust on my sunfire GT. But, not sure if the moto gets any hotter than a car's.

It will need to be rated for at least 600F continous.

Chrome doesn't sound too bad - I'd be OK with the bluing myself, but not everyone likes the look. Probably the best option for a money-is-no-object restoration would be Jet Hot or a similar ceramic coating, but it's not cheap. If I were being cheap, which I frequently do, I'd probably go the BBQ grill paint option.

i'm thinking of doing a white / red / black paint job, so it looks like i just got through with a 187 mph run on adamo drive and the headers are hawt as fawk . :D :D :D
