Default Painting Headers?

Did a quick search on here and nothing came back, after doing some research it seems duplicolor makes a paint with ceramic in it for headers and you're supposed to cure it in the oven for 2 hours after putting it on. Anyone had any experience with this? Pictures?

Thanks

Hope mom has an oven big enough to fit headers in it...

I know this isn't exactly DIY, but if I were you I'd look up private airport mechanic shops and look for someone to spray your headers. They do that stuff on planes and it's supposed to be much more durable than something from a can.

Nice, Im going to keep that POR 15 in mind, came out great on his car. I was really wanting to do my headers red though, maybe with the proper prep this could work? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT Such as maybe with a primer overtop first to help it hold the heat in? I have quite some time to figure out what Im going to do before I have headers anyway though

Not thinking any paint is gonna last on headers. Jethot or something like that is about all that will take the heat.
