Matt_Harrington:
Galvafroid is great stuff and is effectively cold galvanising to bare steel. Have some parts painted years ago and still rust free....Still have a few tins  ;)

Oddjob:
Never considered alloy paint, yeah that would make sense. I do know it rubbed off quite easily, underneath was a dull silver finish, maybe a really thin nickel plate. The 2 sides were like chalk and cheese, the inside was really dull, the outside was really bright decorative chrome as it was called. The inside rusted far easier than the outside but then again most people polished the outside, whereas the inside was normally left alone and of course was more subject to stone strikes etc.

I have 2 original 323 exhaust upstairs, however I painted both of them with zinc paint on the inside in order to try and avoid the rusting problem. It stayed on really well and both exhausts look really well, keep thinking I'll sell them but then I think I may use them at some point.

This is one, you can see the zinc paint around the balance tube.



And both.
