Burnt tip exhaust cover up?

I just picked up an Invidia N1 for cheap. I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to effectively paint the tip? I'd imagine that hitting it with some spray paint wont work...

Paint the entire catback black. Looks stealthy and covers up the imperfections. They sell high heat exhaust paint at any auto parts store.

You could just use some metal polish and take the burnt color off!

Defiantly just get some heavy cut metal polish take all the color off then you will get that finish get a finer polish like mothers aluminum mag polish and you will get it shinny of you want that machined aluminum look get something with a-lot of cut so it can stay someone dull

UUhm.. I don't think metal polish is used for that kinda application... if the metal is burnt.. that's a change in the metal's physical properties.
