Rated up to 2000 degree, it's not going to burn off like many of the other high heat paints
That's about 3 to 4 times the temperature ratings of most high temp BBQ paint !!
Normally around $16 a can. . . It's fuel resistant, but be sure and follow the "curing" directions on can.
It's available in 4 shades of black . . . Flat, Matte, Satin, and Gloss
They also recommend applying their primer beforehand, . . . if you're so inclined.
You should be able to find it at your favorite auto parts store . . . . or even in many big retail stores, such as Walmart..
Good Luck
.
Don't aim . . . and you'll hit your target every time!
A wise man knows . . . he isn't!
Failure squared . . . equals success!

To be honest with limited succcess.
The Motip Dupli 850°C black paint , soon is getting white around the most heated areas.
The VHT is too matte and has a very poor corrosion protection. In high humidity you surely will get spotty corrosion everywhere.
By far the best, i every used is Ceracote Glacier Black for my Exhausts, 2 stroke and 4 stroke --> no rust and no discoloration after years and able to bare more than 1000°C and a smooth satin surface, like OEM. You can see the finish in the video
It even equalizes very good rust craters and is easy to apply, but you need a spray gun, as it is not available in spray cans.
The resistance against mechanical impact is also very good, its not as brittle as usual Silicon based powder coarings
But the exhaust has to be sand blasted, before applying.
But it´s worth the effort (no, i am not sponsored )
I will never use anything else.

Long lasting and corrosion has not returned. To prep I used coarse sanding pads and a steel wire brush, followed by a good wipe with BBQ lighter fluid. What I noticed about this coating is that it doesn't really dry until you get pipe back on the engine and get it nice and hot on a long ride. Before you do so it can easily smear off...but after you get it hot its tough stuff.
