Which Eastwood Paint For Exhaust System?

[RubyDropTop]

I need to choose between 2 Eastwood exhaust paint products, so any insight is appreciated.

First choice: Stainless Steel Gray

Or

Second Choice: Silver Matte

Both are the high temp coatings, but which one would look better?

The new, aluminized exhaust system that was put on the car about 5 weeks ago is beginning to surface rust :cry and I want to catch this problem now.

Which one would you choose?

Neither of those products have worked well from what I've seen.
rust comes thru anyway....I've had better luck with the
manifold exhaust paint made/sold by POR - but after 2 years, it too is showing signs of rust.
I have, yes it is true, painted exhaust manifolds with rustoleum brand bbq paint - yep, the paint they sell to repaint the top lid on the backyard gas grill. The only problem with it is the color - it's more of a brown, but it does indeed hold up/prevent rust better than anything I've seen/used so far. With this in mind, with the next set of manifolds I restore - after sand blasting them clean, I plan to coat them with the bbq paint....1 coat, then put the manifolds on the gas grill to heat them up/help the paint to cure.
Then repeat.
The coat them with the POR manifold paint - and heat them up on the gas grill again.
Then repeat.

POR also makes/sells exhaust pipe paint - it is aluminzied paint, and looks/works well...I've used it on 3 cars I've restored, and the pipes still look great - no rust at all, the oldest resto was 4 years ago.

It is easy to brush on, dries quickly, and brush marks aren't that noticeable...just make sure your pipes are clean.
This stuff will also smoke some and stink a tad upon initial curing (after you crank the car and the pipes get hot).

My previous post was about exhaust manifold paint.

I think they only make one exhaust paint .the others that you mentioned are for the manifolds.The manifold stuff works good but the "exhaust" paint only works if it is scuffed up a little and very clean.
