I'm hoping the same thing.
I tried to find some power coat material that would work for exhausts. Obviously there are places that will do it commercially, but I was hoping to find some DIY stuff. No much luck.
The various forums show widely different experiences with the high-temp exhaust paint. Some report good results and others show that it flakes off almost right away. True for all brands.
I elected to try the VHT Flameproof coating which is supposedly good up to 2000 degrees F. If it works, great, and if not, well I tried. On the exhaust manifold I really tried to prep the surface well by wire brushing, media blasting, washing and degreasing. Same for the turbine housing. The down tube just wire brushing.
I guess I'll know soon enough.
