Default exhaust paint

I am going true dual in a few months and was wondering what is the best spray paint to coat the exhaust to prevent rust? Thanks.

If you wanna paint the headers, forget about it. That's impossible. If you just wanna paint the header-back, then just about any hi temp (exhaust specific) paint will work. I painted the welds on some of my exhaust back in the day with some Duplicolor exhaust paint.

Yes, I plan on just painting after the headers. My kooks are already ceramic coated. Any paint brand recommendation?

They are, but coated as well to reduce temp.
