If you have mild steel pipes, you can try painting them in high temp (BBQ) paint but the paint doesn't last long.
The only permanent option is to upgrade to stainless.
Wrapping can be useful though. Especially for hiding the "Not for road use" stamp on my Triumph offroad can

Re: high temp BBQ paint
I ride year round and the mag chloride is eating the heck out my header.
Sand and paint with the above or remove and take to muffler shop, clean and have them paint? Thanks
