Powdercoating the engine mount is by far the best way to go. It is naturally applied as a powder and heated to about 500-550 degrees and the powder will then melt and be impervious to the amount of heat in the cowled area. I powdercoated several years back (mid 80's) in Denver, CO. The wheels can also be coated, but if they are magnesium or alum make sure that they are preheated in the oven to wick all the air and contaminants out of the metal. I would recommend that you blast them with a soda ash or plastic bead and use a good epoxy sealer the color that you want them. If you need a recommendation on the product let me know. As far as the exhaust goes chroming is the best way to prevent corrosion but expensive. I used a company called Jet-Hot Coatings on one of my projects. It is a ceramic coating and is much cheaper. Just search for them on the web. They have several locations. Great people. Hope that I have helped.
