Javier, I've never had any peel off but I don't use primer, specially regular primer. Maybe high heat primer would work but regular wouldn't. I've used NAPA high heat, even Walmart's brand and they all work. I use flat on exhausts (1200 degree plus) and semi gloss or gloss (500 degree plus) on the mufflers. Sometimes as someone commented black turns somewhat grey - depending on the brand and I prefer a slight sheen on the exhausts and so some flats do that. Stove or BBQ paint works as well, Graham

Graham, do you remember the names of any of the good brands? We painted the exhaust on the Suzuki, I don't if it was the primer or the paint, but it started to pill off right away.

Joe, I know, would rather not use paint. He's a purest when it comes to his 700S's, right Joe? I would rather try and restore the black chrome but if I can't I'll paint them - which will be part of my next project, Graham

I would suggest high temp black paint used in the automotive industry.
It's application is specifically for parts that get over 1200 degrees.
You can buy it in any parts store. I would try it on some scrap part
first and see if the color is right. If not, look for another brand or
another type of black. I've seen matt blacks that look dark grey and
up to true black colors. HotrodMamma. Yes, it's me. Hi all! I miss
you.

I have never done it myself, so I cannot really tell, but I've seen many adds on the web of places showing powder coated exhausts. I assumed they had
an especial type for high temps.

Powder coating doesn't typically work for exhausts; the temperature to make
the coat melt and smooth is generally around 250-350F.

What about powder coating? seems to be much cheaper than that.
