Default Painting inside exhasut tips????

I have some new exhaust coming and want to know what kind of paint I can use to paint inside the very tips as they are slightly exposed. What will stay on besides powder coating? Anything?

Try a flat black rust paint or BBQ paint, works well.

Hi temp stove paint. You can find it in where hot stoves, pellet stoves or fireplaces are sold. Flat black too.


Here's a sample. http://www.stovepaint.com/

I know. Something else to clean. Probably not even worth it, but just got my feelers out.

The ceramic coating will help the chrome not turn color and help some on exhaust pipe temps, also will help on exhaust flow with less air to metal friction.

Can you ceramic coat the inside of your pipes?
