Have you thought about powder coating them? Castle coatings in Caerphilly are good.

SSS has had his top mount and pipe work painted and plenty of us have had our FMIC pipework painted/powdercoated.

It's not hard to do it yourself

Good stuff that's what I wanted to hear. I will attempt this myself any paint in particular? How warm does the section passing the turbo get?

I had my FMIC pipework powdercoated @ The Wheel Specialist in Cwmbran in matt black, cracking job and price plus a lot more durable than paint.
