Great stuff as always. The only downside I can see to that obviously very necessary painting of the catalytic converter is how an acid wash would change the color of the paint. If you ever wanted to acid wash the converter in order to restore its functionality after getting a catalytic converter "inefficiency" code, the acid bath itself would stain the paint. You could repaint it if you wanted to, but I doubt that the staining of the paint would change its rust prevention capacity.
