Mr. Ray,
I would suggest "cermacoating" your exhaust parts. It gives them a "polished aluminum look." From what I gather, it is essentially a metallic looking powder-coat paint finish, except maybe more heat resistant.
I had an outfit named Performance Coatings do my GEO engine muffler/exhaust, and also my GlaStar header-style custom exhaust system (pipes).
They charged me $60 complete, for the GEO exhaust muffler unit, and I believe $100, or there-abouts, for the Lycoming exhaust headers. And you don't do ANYTHING. They do it all....from cleaning the surface, coating, and then buffing them shiny. I was VERY satisfied with the price and the quality.
Let me go see if I can find their phone number................back in a minute.
I'm back. Here is the outfit I dealt with, although I see there are a couple of places named "Performance
Coatings."

And while I'm at it, since I'm name-dropping here, someone asked about what to coat their panel with. I saw a couple of suggestions like krinkle paint, or laminate (plastic). Is anyone familiar with this process?? I saw them featured on "SPORT PILOT" TV show. Unbelievably beautiful work, but as you can imagine...not cheap.
If nothing else, maybe, just maybe, an ingenious soul can duplicate their process on a small scale, for their own little flat panel surface. Anyway, it's just a suggestion.

BTW. It's nice when this forum isn't bothered by General Rancor. He is such a distasteful cuss !! (No one particular in mind!!!)
