Tom,

The ceramic coatings are heat resistant for exhaust temperatures. Come 
in many colors now.  Goes on like powder coat and lasts better than any 
paint I have found.

   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
