Ideas to improve exhaust looks

My exhaust is a bit rusty and looks crappy even with a rear valence. I have painted the exhaust before with muffler paint and the paint burned off. Any ideas to improve the exhaust. thanks.

Ceramic Coating.
High Dollar, but its permanent.
Sorta like the stuff your stove is coated with....VERY hard and VERY high temperature impervious coating.
Make sure you use an exhaust you like cuz' it'll cost ya.
I found some stove or BBQ coating once that worked waaay too good...but I can't remember what it was, wasn't beautiful, but was better than rust and NEVER burned off.

I've been using some high temp header paint that's black. Comes out of he can real thin and dries to a chaulky black. Comes off on your hands until you fire up the car and get it real hot. Kinda of a powder coat. I'll look tomorrow and see what brand it is.

Thumbs up

We carry the WURTH Hi-Temp black and aluminum paint. I have used the Hi-Temp aluminum and it doesn't burn off or peel on my heat exchangers.

I'm pretty sure any high temp paint that an auto parts store would work. There's a type that can handle lower heats like 500 degrees and below, and then there's another type that can handle up to like 1400 or somethin like that. I'd think the higher temp of the two would work fine. I'm using it any way

I used high temp spray paint that I got at the local auto parts store. It has been on there for about 300 miles with no problems.
