What's the max temperature in "C" of those barbecue paint sprays? I was looking at some exhaust sprays that were 650 "C" but the Camcoat "Chrome" effect coating is about 900 from memory.

Loaded. Do you have a pressure washer? For about 40 quid you can buy a water blasting attachment and blast stuff yourself.
No but I could get my hands on one though. I need to take the exhaust off anyway so I can see what sort of condition its really in. The U bend is in far worse condition (no coating- reddy rusty look to it). The rest of it is a mixture of good solid paint and some chipping off of the original coat. As I have little history of the scooter itself I cannot tell when its been replaced from the original - for all I know it could be 15 years old?
Anyway, time for some action and I will take on board comments so far made and report back when I have made some progress!!!
Cheers all!!

Get it blasted or try paraffin depending on the paint. When paint is off check for cracks on the brackets then use a heatproof spray paint. Decent heat proof paints need to go in the over at about 200c for an hour once it is air dry
Here one I did last week.
