yes, i used high temp paint, but still it is starting to flake and peel. I did not do any prep work the first time, and that is my main concern now, what should i do?

do you think that i should scuff the pipes up with some sand paper first, then some primer? or should i just re-spray it, and call it a day?

A good once over with paint thinner to clean them works great, seems like new exhausts have an oily residue on them which will prevent a good application of paint. I painted one of my other exhausts with a few coats of 1200 degree black BBQ paint and then a few coats of 600 degree engine paint. The engine paint had a little gloss to it and made it look good, and seems more durable.
