try some of that dupli color vht paint they use it on car headers an engine blocks it says good up to 2000 degrees f so it should work good

i use bar B-Q grill paint skuff up the pipe lightly with sandpaper then warm it up real good with a torch or somthing get it hot not so hot that you cant touch it but almost then spray it do like 3 coats after it drys real good it looks all dull duff it up with a soft cloth and it will shine up nicely goodluck man

i have a set of t-5 and painted them several times. the problem was that paint did not hold up well i have tried header, engine, and gril paint with the same results. it would look good for a while but would not hold up for very long and if the pressure washer got close to it the paint would come off. so i found some high temp powdercoat on www.eastwood.com this has been on my pipes for over 2 years with no problems.

I just had my RDZs ceramic coated satin black for $150. They look nice. 3 day turnaround. He also does powder coating with similar turn around. One of my duner chassis cost $250 to do.

Why not sanding them and polishing them? Thats what i did with mine. They were rusted to shit, and after about 2 nights of sanding and polishing they turned into mirrors.

Steel wool will work miracles on you're pipes

i used a copper pad so it didnt scratch as much. and also used windex when i was scrubbing since it seemed to help to get the rust of better.
