It's allot of work but what i did on my srx is i taped(heavily)off the chrome section of my pipes then sand blasted them then painted with a high temp
(1,600 deg.)header paint, then cooked in front a salamander heater for 30
mins.

you gota bake that paint on somehow(oven or running the engine) after you paint them, or it'll just flake off.

the header pipes i just put in the oven and cooked 'em(wile the wife was @ work.:) )

you need to get rid of the rust or it'll just keep coming back.
