Default Rattle Can Exhaust

Anyone rattle can their exhaust using header/engine paint or high heat grill paint? Just spent quite a bit on money on mods and not really sure which exhaust I want so I was thinking of just spraying the factory one flat black. If anyone has done this how did it turn out? Pics would be nice if anyone has any. Thanks in advance.

Rustoleum High Heat Matte Black. It does disappear, which is good. While some gloss might match the bumper, I just didn't think mufflers should have gloss.

I was thinking about going with POR this summer but I grabbed a can of Rustoleum's underbody coating spray and hit up the front end today after cleaning it really in and out with brake cleaner. I just want to see how it holds up till June or so before I bite the bullet and go POR, or not.

Geesh! My 07 JK had all kinds of rock rash on the skids and very minimal corrosion. I never sprayed the bare metal.. I will prob take a little more time on my 10' JK.
