Don't powder coat exhaust components.  I work in a construction equipment
factory.  We have a huge powder coat facility.  If we get poor coverage on a
powder coated part, we put the part in a 700 degree oven and burn the powder
coating off.  Any exhaust component runs hotter than that.

You might try a can of Griot's Garage high temp paint.  It's supposed to
work up to 1400 degrees.  Haven't tried it yet, waiting for winter, which is
nearly underway here in Seattle.
