Exhaust temperature

[Skar]

While my engine is stripped I'm going to give my exhaust some TLC, what temperatures can I expect a JL pipe to get to on an Imola? The reason I ask is that I want to blast and paint it... PJ1 seems to be the best as regards temperature but only comes in matt black, I'd prefer something shiny but they have lower temperature thresholds.
Thanks

What condition is your exhaust 'cos you could always get it ceramic coated.

I used these £110 delivered,exhaust was brand new so could be a tad dearer if they need to blast it.

I have had best results from B&Q BBQ paint, but it only comes in matt black...
you painting the header too ? I'm not aware of any spray paint that has lasted there. As red says, get it professionally coated for a longer term fix

I'll bear the ceramic in mind for when I get a new exhaust, this one still has life in it but not that much!

I've been recommended this one which is good for 816C and has very good reviews but only comes in matt black. The alternative is this which is good for 600C and comes in various colours.

both of those are good ska but try to get satin if you can. matt ends up looking grubby like a dirty blackboard and gloss shows every imperfection.

satin looks like new rubber and seems to look new for ever

I've used PJ1 before - the paint lasts extremely well , shame the can didn't , totally blocked up after one application, loads of paint left in too
