Painting question

[riskadh]

Not so much a bike painting question as it is an exhaust painting question. My exhaust pipes are ridiculously rusted and just an eyesore. Has anybody tried to paint them or is it even a feasible idea? I would love to replace all of it, but this can be costly so was just thinking of painting them until I get around to being able to afford to swap them out. Thanks in advance for any advice :-D

I used flat black BBQ paint on mine, let them sit over night after painting and it seemed to stick real well.

I've had the best luck by sanding chrome with 400 grit wet paper, doing an acid etch (can get it at any automotive paint supply store) watch the fumes and then spray them. John Deere makes a great high temp flat balck...seems to hold the best on the drag-stang.

Unfortunately if they were chrome, it was a LONG time ago. But I will try the BBQ paint, thanks for the suggestion \\/
