Default again...coated vs high temp paint

on headers. i know it has to do with holding in the heat, but can someone really explain that! does it really make that much of a difference?

it lowers the underhood temperatures and also helps the exhaust gases flow.

What if you use high temp patin then header wrap? Already have headers, not ceramic option. HAHAHA!!! Plus i don't like shiney stuff.
