Boo,

I used "Rutlands 1200 degree Black Stove Paint"; put a couple of coats on the headers too. The one thing I didn't do in my haste to get the job done was to remove the cheap factory paitn. I did clean the headers up very good with alcohol before I painted.

The better hi temp paints (like Rutlands) will need to be "fired" to cure. Be sure to sand the cheap factory finish off the pipes. I was too lazy to.

My persomal opinion is that one coat or four, the tube headers will start rusting in about a month or two.
