Hi Paul
The exhaust colour should be satin black, using a good quality heat resistant paint. VHT satin black is OK as is Eastwoods Black Velvet, this is an American company and their products can be purchased through the Frost company, it is more expensive, but, if applied correct on to a good clean rust free surface it will last for years, we have had it on our vehicle for the last 6 years and it still is as good as the day we did it.

Ferrous oxide brown is very popular too!

These were never painted in the factory.
