Thermotec paint works really really well if you are trying to save bucks and still coat, at least for the areas where you aren't getting constant water splash. I had pieces of pipe for more than two years that I coated with thermotec and it only had minor spots appear down at the bottom area. The trick is to clean the metal really well, spray it, then bake it so the coating doesn't come off. Once that stuff is baked on it won't ever go anywhere. It only allows corrosion where there was contamination underneath.
