Default Generator exhaust through a wall?

Another question, does anyone have experience of high temperature
paints? I believe that there is paint that will withstand high
temperatures and is used to paint exhausts.


My experience with cars is that it only lasts so long - I'm not sure if
it's the temperature that gets to it eventually, or just nasties in the
exhaust gases.

For a fixed install like you have, I think I'd look into adding a sleeve
over the external part of the exhaust; something that keeps itself far
enough away from the hot pipe that it'll stay looking nice (just pay
attention to where any moisture that gets in is going to go - cut a small
drain hole or two at the base if necessary)
