Painting the Exhaust, corrosion protection

ceramic coated would be best, but for a DIY, I would go with VHT ceramic spray paint. I powdercoated my muffler back with regular powdercoat to see how it would hold up, and it burnt off of the piping. The muffler and tips are great, but the actual piping between them didn't hold up to the heat.

I've seen people use the VHT FlameProof on headers. It's probably overkill for the exhaust beyond the cats but I believe it is all much the same price.
