Is this a heatproof coating or is it just some paint to stop them rusting before fitting? Thank You Simon Keeping the Bee Buzzin'

Paper work that came with the manifolds said they were coated. I drove the car a lot this summer and no problems no peeling discoloration or rust. Still look like the day i put them on. 6235438-MoreGTXpics028.JPG (86 downloads)

I'm looking to do a nice 'stock looking' engine bay on my car.Any tips or sources of information please? Thank You Simon Keeping the Bee Buzzin'
