Why not try Cerakote coatings, much better protection from abrasions, corrosion.

Agree.
Once you have used a ceramic coating, paint just doesn't cut it.
VHT black flameproof is your best choice for paint, reasonably good life. |

That's any interesting way of reducing the heat to a heatproof painted surface.
Might try it one day.

Cerakote offers a wide spectrum of colors for their ceramic coating, more so than Jet-Hot. I'm wondering if the paint over the ceramic will hold up given the ultra smooth ceramic surface.

Personally I would use one of their listed applicators. Having said that most of the Cerakot people I've come across are using Cerakote on high end firearms/optics.
But I'm sure even they could do a exhaust as well.
The process is a little more involved than a basic DIY.
