welding and stopping corosion ??

When you weld say an exhaust pipe what is the best make of paint to use to cover the weld and surounding metal to stop it coroding?? ive used a heat proof paint ofcause but its not water proof so just lets it rust and within a short time youre back to square one ?

im prety sure the rust im getting is from outside!

if i posably can i want to save the pipe as its reletivly new but i had to do a weld on it to fit a bracket. so finding a good water and heat resitant paint would be a god send ??? plus i have othe projects the paint would be useful for ...
cheers jez

Exhaust pipes tend to rot from inside out so painting the outside is a bit of a waste of time.
