Default $*** exhaust tips!!

Okay, so I got my new exhaust installed on Wednesday, and I love it!! Sounds great, looks great. Well I go outside Saturday morning to see my tips already peeling paint and rusting!!!!!!! Arrgghh. No wonder these things were so cheap! They're Jones tips btw. I am very upset with the brand. But I still love the sound tho.. but quick question, what's a cheap easy fix? Should I wire brush the rust off and buy some hi temp resistant paint and repaint em? Any suggestions would be great!

Any warranty? You could use engine block paint to redo them

aluminum bright and then high temp clear. We spray rusty exhaust with some hot acid( aluminum bright more or less) here at work and then pressure wash with hot water and the pipes come back silver like new.... Could do that and then high temp clear so it stays that way.
