I used the VHT high temp paint in the glossiest black you can get for headers, I used high grit wet sandpaper to dull it a bit but really you dont even need to do that I've seen this done before without sanding and its been looking good for years.

I followed the instructions to start/stop and let it heat up to help it bake on.....looks good so far, if it gets messed up I can always re-apply!
