I seem to remember reading someplace in here that you have to use a different kind of powder for high temp applications like exhaust systems. It wasn't that long ago I saw it but can't find the thread. I have a set of rush slipon's at home that were done with ceramic. I put them on the bike and ran it a couple of miles but just didn't like the look that well and took them off. One thing I noticed is they seem to scratch very easily.

Another option not listed. I sprayed my Pro Pipe with House of Kolor Hi-Temp Satin Black (see pic below). It's a little more involved than just rattlecan paint (must be applied w/spray gun) but the finish is perfect and durable. Had it on the bike for several years.

Hi temp rattle can best bang for the buck. Had mine hi temped pc it chipped up. Best part about the rattle super cheap if you get a scratch to repaint.
