Isn't the exhaust chrome under the black paint?

The front part of the exhaust is stainless and only the collector box cast and rusts. You could clean the main section and then just spray the cast with PJ1 or BBQ pait to tidy it up

As for the carriers, i've done my centres when the rotors were split off but have also done carriers and carefully masked off all the bobbins etc (PIA but worth the time). Sprayed mine with a rattle can
