[DeTomaso] Muffler/Header Paint

I finally got my car cleaned up from the rainy Houston trip (I couldn't do anything for almost all of June due to getting pneumonia after I got back) and noticed that I have very light surface rust on my GTS exhaust and headers.  I painted both with heat resistant paint over 25 years ago and the paint was getting pretty thin.   


Before the rust takes over I want to clean up the surface and repaint.  Is there such a thing as heat resistant powder coat?  Also is it a good thing or bad thing to replace the muffler bolts/nuts with stainless hardware to eliminate future rust issues?


Thanks,


Tom
