Pipes paint

[prib]

Any suggestions for a gloss hi temp paint for exhaust pipes? I thought I had some good stuff but it bubbled on me the first time I fired up the bike.
Thaks for your time.

Here is what I found to be successful: Our local ACE hardware stores sell high temp gloss black paint under the ACE hardware brand name. It works great as long as you sand the muffler thoroughly and prime it with a flat black barbeque grill paint. Check for compatibility before you get too far. The downside is the gloss black doesn't stay glossy on any of the header pipes since they get too hot. The muffler stays gloss black and looks great (been good for 2 years on my knuckle). I hope this was your question. The other alternative is high temp powdercoat.
