I installed a new stainless steel exhaust system in my BJ8 in 1986 and painted
it before installation with Plasti-Kote Universal #203 Black engine paint. No
need to repaint since then. I painted only the pipes and mufflers, not the
exhaust manifold. I did not use a separate primer.
Recently I repainted the engine in my MG Midget with VHT gray engine primer and
black topcoat because that was what is available now locally, but I have not
yet reinstalled the engine so I can't comment on its durability. The can says
it is good to 550 deg. F (288 C).

No, but I've had very satisfactory results with DEI High-Temp Silicone Coating.
It's outlasted the BBQ paint I tried.

Getting my exhaust ready for paint. Anyone have experience with VHT primer and
paint? I?ve read some positive comments on line. Available at AutoZone, among
others.
