what kind of temperatures does an exhuast header reach during normal operation? I'm cleaning up my engine bay and decided to paint the header heat shield, and I have some 1200 degree farenheit paint that i want to use. I assume that's enough resistance, but i want to be sure it won't peel and flake off everywhere. so yeah, thats it.

 

should be good, i used 1500 on my header and it's held up well.
