Can anyone recommend a high-temp spay chrome paint? (For the exhausts) and a regular temp spay chrome paint?
Chrome paints have a slightly different color, some are more glossy than others, and I’m looking for the most glossy mirror-look possible.. thanks!

Also, painting high-temp chrome on the rusty surface, is it recommended to paint it first with black color (high-temp), and afterwards add the chrome?

Won't look like chrome- it'll be silver, regardless.

ALSA Easy Chrome has a good product for standard applications.
Are you saying that there is no chrome paint for high-temperatures?

Sorry to burst your bubble but nobody makes a chrome paint that will hold up to the heat of an exhaust system.

Try Jet-Hot products. Not cheap, but they work.

Theres ceramic coating but it is not chrome, just silver.
I use the silver high temp paint and its works pretty good but my car stays in a garage when not in use.

Really? Looks like it polishes pretty good to me: https://www.jet-hot.com/classic-polish/

Rattle can 'chrome' (silver) paint. $

JetHot coating. $$$$

Neither are chrome.
Covering rusty pitted metal is a no go, as any finish will come off.
Where you store vehicle when not in use doesn't matter regarding the finish.

Heating & cooling cycles don't care.

Regular paint will work fine.
