This may be a stoooopid question/already cover/debunked/already done but was thinking of using fire grate blacking to protect the exhaust on my defender on the ouside. Any thoughts. Fire grates get to welding temp sometimes when burning high quality anthracite or holly logs, so thought it might be an idea. I know moisture from inside will eventually rust it through but it should work in theory on the outside?

Every chance it will rust from the inside out anyway and if the blackening on my wood stove is anything to go by it doesn't last (fades and scuffs)and fairly sure it is not 'weather proof'. You may even have to take the back box off to get at it all... then it may not go back on if near the end of its life.
I would save my time and effort and leave it well alone... a complete 3 part exhaust will only set you back just over £120
If ity aint bust.... dont fix it. Cant see many people saying 'nice grate blackened exhaust mate'
rear wheel arch
no one thinks that steering rod needs replacing then?
