You can get them ceramic coated but dont ask me where in the country would do them.
I can only suggest a search.
Have you looked at the US site dave?,stuff like this seems much more common with owners there,the site is a bit sluggish during the day but theres lots of entertaining ideas floating around it.
You planning a special for the monster challenge or whatever its called?

You can buy exhaust paint, I bought a spray can in black from Demon Tweeks, haven't used it yet though so no idea if its any good?
It comes in different colours

No, powder coating on downpipes is a non-starter
Pipes will melt the coating

What colour are you wanting them?? Black chrome looks good and works well on pipes. Only downside is most places won't do used pipes as their tanks get contaminated. Also should get the pipes polished before chroming - gives a better finish.
