    id say engine/exhaust paint from any normal shop supercheap or repco should do the trick, you can buy it in spray cans, just check on the can as to the temps it can withstand it should be specific to exhausts and engines.

    it is ceramic coated. If you want it done properly take it to a specialist ceramic coater, otherwise be cheap and use hi-temp enamel.

    the ceramic coating will last longer but costs alot more, you could ring around if you wanted it done.

    Otherwise the higher the temperature engine/exhaust paint you can get the longer it will last if it's not very high temp paint it will just fade and flake off quicker, if your going to spraypaint it yourself you need to make sure it's as clean as possible, use steel wool and fine sandpaper to clean it down once there clean so it'l stick better.

    Standard Pacies are not ceramic coated just painted blue. Pacemaker sell their blue paint in a spray can. About $300 over here gets you ceramic coating.
