I just read up on "Plasticote" paints. Stuff's supposed to be pretty good. It's what I'm planning on using.

Sand Blast, wash with metal prep (phosphouric acid) $14.99 at home depot, $8.99 for VHT Spray paint.
safety glasses and tall rubber gloves.
Clean it with scotch pad and acid, rinse it good, dry it with a propane torch.

Then srpay it with thin coats to build it up. Let air dry well.
And hope you can get it in an oven to heat cure properly.
I just did these 4 piece spyder pipes in my house oven for a KZ

VHT is one of the oldest car engine and header paints around.

I used VHY on my GPz1150 and it lasted about two weeks before it started cracking. I even used the VHT primer and the Phosphoric acid. With the paint and the sandblasting it cost me more than when I had them Ceramic coated last fall. $75 to have the headers Ceramic coated inside and out.
