either get at HPC/Ceramic coated or forget about it. The last thing you need is paint overheating and catching on fire and burning your hard work to the ground.

FWIW, I've used the VHT Cerami-coat high temp black before. It is kindof like a high temp powdercoat in a can. Works good but is quite alot of work to apply.
