Default Ceramic coating Exhaust

Hello all. Thought I would get some feedback on ceramic coating the exhaust system on the x100. A few months ago I bought a used centre box off E-bay which promptly broke at a rusty weld. Nevermind, bought another one in much better condition plus it gave me an excuse to install the Adamesh stage 1 and 2 over the axel pipes I have been sitting on for a few months.
So it occured to me to spray a ceramic coating onto the whole system to help keep the rust away. Namely "VHT SP100 Flameproof Exhaust Paint". I know the Adamesh system is stainless steel but the centre box and pipes are not. Anyhow, I primed x3 top coated x3 and clear coated x3. All in all I'm pleased with the results and expecting it to go some distance to keep the rust off the system. What are your thoughts? See pic. ps. I know my rubber hangers need dropping a bit.

Looks great and as a car exposed to the UK weather, I strongly recommend it. I also have the Adamesh 1 & 2 set-up and have been considering the coating for the middle box. I’ve done loads of other protective actions to the underside for the same reason ( but that is off-topic ).
