I don't think you are going to get very far with engine paint.
I did a search for exhaust temperature, and came up with this site:
monitor probes
Apparently exhaust gas temperature can run as high as 2200 degrees. At least the sensors are rated at that.

Don't mistake them for the engine enamel paint it goes to "only" 500 degrees.

grill paint don't last unless it's cured in a oven
I'm not following you on that one. What kind of oven/temperature are you talking about? I've never had to do that and it has worked well for me. I just warm the bike and shut it off a few times after painting just to avoid the smoke issue of new paint on headers.

Oh and be sure you use 220 grit to rough the surface and be sure it is clean of grease, etc. Like all paint the secret is in the prep.
AMEN to that...
