Default What kind of paint for true dual exhaust?

Lookin through the garage I have rustoleum protective inside/outside enamal and krylon inside/outside enamel and paint. I'm guessing this won't be tough enough? Is BBQ pit paint the only way to go?
The good news is I HAVE 3" TRUE DUALS FINALLY!!!

I used Duplicolor High Heat. It's rated to 1200*F, has held up perfectly on my duals. Still looks like I just sprayed it 1 year later.

Let us know how it holds up...mine is in dire need of a repaint. I was thinking about doing BBQ paint, but am not quite sure.
