Probably not the best thing out there, but I blasted mine with aluminum oxide and then painted them with stove black...

You should try a ceramic coating - you can do it yourself (it sprays or brushes on) and withstands 2000F. There are several places that sell a variety of colors (cast iron, black, flat, white, chrome, blue, etc.). Although I have yet to use this - I plan to. Here is a place I found where you can buy the supplies: Columbia Coatings Just go to the Ceramic section. I am sure there are other places out there that sell this stuff. You may have an issue with your glass beading - might not give sufficient "bite" for the paint to adhere too.

I used VHT manifold paint and it works pretty good.

I'm very happy with the results I got from POR 15 exhaust coating. I have about 2000 miles on mine and they look much better than my friend's manifolds with the Eastwood stuff on them, but I don't know if he did the prep work correctly. I'll try to remember to post a pic tomorrow.
I finally made it to the end of the rainbow. Murphy was standing there to tell me that the pot of gold was at the other end.

Results will be much much better on a beefy iron manifold than a set of tube headers. I have found the BBQ paints hold up as well as the VHT stuff on exhaust parts.
Keep old mopars alive.
