Default Coating your cutouts?

I was wondering if anyone had done this and what they had coated it with? I dont want to go with a jett Hott coating but was wondering if they make that aluminized coating in a can that would be worth it. I know that some use BBQ pit paint but how long does that last. All in all, i dont want it to look like a rusty POS like it is now. Ill be going with an electric cutout so i want everything to look nice and neat on my new exhaust setup. Any advice or help is appreciated. Thanks.

You might try some of these from Eastwood. I have had good luck with header paint on headers with 1-7/8" primaries and larger. Anything smaller, no matter the cubes, and the heat doesn't get disipated as well and burns the paint off. I have tried numerous brands over the years and they all are basically the same. The prep work is very important. If your cutouts are rusted I'd highly recommend blasting them to get a rough surface for the paint to adhere to and clean them well with carb cleaner or laquer thinner before you paint. IMO bbq grill paint is the same as header paint. But back to my original thought, your cutouts are much larger than 1-7/8" so I would imagine that the header paint would hold up fairly well and recoat as needed. In most header paint instructions i've read it says to do a light coat just enough to cover and not lay it on heavy. Hope this helps.

I used VHT exhaust paint on my last exhaust. The first time it all melted off, so when I re-did it I actually followed the directions (like where it said it had to cure, or it would burn off ) and did what it said, and it worked good. In fact when I re-did my exhaust, I painted the end of tohe tail pipe, and its still purdy. (at least when its not filthy)
