RE: Painting exhaust colors?
This is headed in the right direction. This is the reddish "rustoleum" dry brushed with steel. The base paint is a spray and seems to go on with a slight texture and dries flat. It probably said all that right on the can IN JAPANESE that I can't read. The acrylic steel is quite dark so I might also pick out a few high lights with a lighter color (for example, aluminum). Also keep in mind that I'll have to give this a clearcoat to make it fuel-proof. My choices there are either Nelson's Flat Clear or the clear "rustoleum" I picked up today at the Japanese hardware store. My tests in the past with this paint type show it to be fuel-proof but I haven't tried the clear before.
