I used the Duplicolor High Temp with Ceramic (1200 degree.) No problems so far. I let it cure for a day then let the bike idle for about 5 minutes, then put the bike away for the night. So far it is holding up just fine.

I used VHT Ceramic header paint.Worked well for me.But you gotta make sure you degrease and sand pipes real well or any paint you use is gonna flake right off.By sanding it makes little groves that allows the paint to "bite"and adhear correctly.Also as far as baking the can has directions on doing that on the bike.Let the pipes heat up and cool down a few times to allow the paint to cure properly!
