Yea Baby, Paint it all! Zinc-Chromate has been used on airplanes (and trucks) for over 50 years! As long as you prep it correctly, it will be fine. (Now I have to admit, if you just paint it without pickeling it, nope it won't last. There's been a lot of questions lately about clearing the aluminum.)
Also McMaster-Carr (www.mcmaster.com) has some nice silicone stainless steel in a can that is good up to 1500 degrees. I used it on my J-Pipes and it works like a champ.
Keep us posted on the progress Neill!
