I've also had success painting exhaust components (not just the tip...) with High Heat paint.

I really like the finish of the Ceramic high heat paint. It's a low-semi low gloss, but seems to be very hard / impervious once cured (a heat cycle or two)

Your best bet use high heat grill paint then high heat clear will look like this
