My exhaust I ordered is aluminized steel and I want to paint it/ have it painted. I was considering doing the painting using the rattle can 2000 degree stuff which is $7 per can vs. the ceramic coating professional grade, which will be around $200. Anyone ever used the high temp rattle can stuff??? Any thoughts or ideas are welcomed here!!

I would go for ceramic coating if you don't mind about $$$, pretty sure it it will hold up for long.

 

Why do you want to paint it, for looks or rust protection? I wouldn't bother myself, aluminized will hold up to 5 or more salty winters. Spray the pipes with some high temp clear coat or at least the weld joints.

 

I figured it wouldn't hurt anything to paint it and probably add a little more protection so I went ahead and burned the $20 on it and I'm very happy with how it looks and also with how it turned out. That paint laid great even in the 50 degree temps I was experiencing. The idea was just to add extra protection though. The look was just a bonus

Good deal. Do keep update on how it holds up overtime.
