Exhaust paint and throttle cable end, help

[Middle1956]

I'm restoring a 1973 wr 250 and need some help. I can't find gloss black or even black high temp paint for the exhaust. The best I can find is 500 degrees or less. Anything higher and it goes into flat. I'm sure it has to do with the paint holding up to the heat but I can't put flat on the pipe.

I also need a throttle cable end. The brass thing that goes on the end to make it bigger. I'm not sure what it's called. Anyone know where I can get one?

Thanks, Russ

Thanks for the information. I'm going to look for the DupliColor High Heat Black with CERAMIC here in town. If I can't find it I'll order it from the link you gave me.

Thanks again, Russ
