I dont want to get another exhaust ticket. I tried using high temp paint, and it came off. (I drove the car for an hour to bake the paint but it didnt work)

Maybe it would be worth it to send it to one of those jetcoating places?

after painting with the high temp paint what u need to do is bake it with a heat gun, the exhaust gases dont heat up the can enough to bake those on.

I just used flat black "bbq" paint on mine. It is literally called bbq paint. Works great, I haven't had any flaking in at least 25K.

Rustoleum makes a BBQ high heat spray paint enamel. You can get it from Home Depot.
