Painting the Exhaust, corrosion protection
Living in Chicago and using my Z as a year-round daily driver surely exposes the car to the elements. I have a Stillen CBE which uses T304 stainless on the tips, mufflers and resonators but T409 stainless on all the tubing. Per Stillen, it's expected to have some light surface rust on all the T409 parts, which I now have. The T304 sections still have a perfect surface shine.
My plan is to lightly sand off the surface rust this spring and then paint the T409 portions. Do you guys have any recommendations regarding the best paint to use? Obviously I need something that will protect from corrosion but withstand the heat from the exhaust gases.
