There are a number of manufacturers of high heat engine or exhaust paint. One is Dupli-Cote, available from Autozone. Sand the pipe with fine sandpaper and use a dremel tool with a wire brush to clean around the welds and then paint it.

If you just strip the pipe, it will rust. You can do this, then clean the pipe periodically with steel wool, but that falls into a "high maintenance" area for most people.

500º paint is available. This is usually sold as engine enamel. 1200º paint is probably better for your exhaust. It seems to hold up better. Make sure you take your time when painting it. Follow thd directions on the can (especially regarding time between coats), apply thin coats, and the paint will stick better.
