does anyone know of a place or brand that has silver high temp exhaust paint? i have seen silver engine paint but thats only good for 500 degrees. so im pretty sure that it will bake off.

Try looking near the grill section of your local hardware, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. I saw high temp paint in these stores before and I believe they had silver and gray.

Don't do it. I did, and it doesn't even look as good as the original black.
It didn't bake or anything...just that it's not very shiny, and it happens that I touch the pipe with my knees...and rubbed the paint away...looks horrible.
Actually the paint does bake, but only right at the exit of the cylinder.
I'm gonna get them chromed or polished, that paint just doesn't look good.

GR8T250R is right, when I built my bike last winter its what I used. BBQ grill paint has a matte finnish, not high gloss so it looks like factory paint. I rode that bike all last season and it hasn't burnt off yet. I used black though. Take care, Bryan
