Dr. Bigman: Yes, what's the problem?
Nurse: We have a patient, a vstrom, with acute chromougliness on the rear exhaust.
Dr.: How old is the patient?
N: She is less than one year.
Dr: Yes, I see the problem. Some genetic issue caused her skin to be mixed with chrome and black.
N: But the owner asked to keep the 3 bolts as they were, he mentioned something to do with 3 a lucky number
Dr: OK, no problem, I'll fix it. Prepare the patient for operation.

<A few minutes later>

Nurse: Doctor, the patient is ready.

Dr: OK, Let's start. Get me some Rust-Oleum high heat, and some utility knife.

Dr: That's it. A few hours of rest and she is good to go.

Now I know you just looked at the photos, and skipped the text:

Thank you!
It looks even a little bit better (for some reason ) after I 'baked' it on the first ride (i.e. when the exhaust got hot).

What did you use for paint?

 

[BigMan73]

What did you use for paint?

I used Rustoleum high heat black, tough protective enamel, which I got from Home Depot for $4.5:
12 oz. Flat Black Specialty High Heat Spray Paint-7778830 at The Home Depot

Edit: 1200F is more than enough, to my understanding, for the heat generated on the exhaust pee shooter.
But there is another Rustoleum automotive spray for 2400F, which I think is an overkill for this particular task.

Important implementation note

For those who are going to do the same.

I used a sandpaper of grade 400.
Be sure to thoroughly sand every surface of the shooter.
The chrome layer is very smooth and the paint does not attach to it properly.

I had to do the work twice.
In the first time I was light on the sanding, but then I noticed that the paint came off easily at some points.
So I sanded the whole thing again, this time with no mercy, and completely took off the paint from the first iteration.

Also - go light on the spraying. Spray a thin first layer and allow it to dry for 10 minutes before adding more layers.

At the Hardware store they sell paint for your BBQ, so it's a high heat, and flat in finish.
But won't you be stopped for no exhaust when it becomes all stealthy?
