I used some silver ACE Hardware high temp paint on my
catalytic convertor when I redid my exhaust 2 years
ago, and it still looks like new. The flange fitting
with I installed between the cat and the muffler is
completely surface rusted now, I wish that I would
have painted it.

The exhaust pipes tend to get hotter than the cat, but
some coating is better than none.

Good luck,
