High temp paint for headers. Any recommendations

Well im trying to get away with going ceramic. I heard POR-20/Por-15 high temp is good. Anyone tried this product? If they can paint supersonic jet fighters then they should be able to make a paint that can survive 1400 degrees somewhere.

The cera-metallic coatings are also applied to the internal surfaces of the header tubes, helping keep the heat in the tubes. Simply painting the outside of the headers will not accomplish the same thing..... purely cosmetic.

I painted a set of MAC shorties with Duplicolor 1200* ceramic exhaust paint, followed the instructions on the can, cooked them in the oven...they actually did very well, a very small amount came off, no bare spots at all.

POR20 high temp stays on my catalytic converter, imagine how hot that thing gets.

This is the best high temp paint out there period.
