I have used this brand many times with good results.
For auto and non-auto use in my experiences.
But I never used this flat black finish on exhaust tips.
They also sell many other brands that are more specific for auto use and high heat.
For painting these Exhaust Tips / Diffusers via DIY, you may want to consider a black high heat paint with a semi gloss or satin finish.
Aesthetically, flat black might be more prone to water marks or stains after a while.

My sales rep went on a trip that Lexus Canada hosted for the education of the ISF for all the Ontario sales reps (like a workshop). They learned all the little details of the vehicle (that way prepping them for any kind of questions that would arise from an ignorant to a well educated customer interested in a high end sports car). He loaned me a book that he was given, with all this information of why they designed certain things a specific way. One of the highlights was the quad exaust is done in that way (the exaust tips aren't actually attatched to the quad ends) to help reduce "back pressure".
