There are directions for ceramic based high temp paint that specify baking it in an oven, your home oven will work although the smell may not be great and this will make the paint last WAY longer. You will want to get the 1500 F stuff.

high temp paint is good as ceramic coating for heat cover?

personally if you want the heat shield painted, i would get it ceramic coated to a shiny gloss and it will last. any fancy color and it will probably not.

I assume that this is the one you would use to port out a stock manifold?
mifesto: It worked on my DSM manifold, but I am sure the EVO is running way hotter, it is good to know someone has tried this. Thanks!

i got my exhaust manifold jet coated but only for cosmetic purposes. if all i cared is functionality, my wrapped and ceramic black painted manifold radiators was very effective (radiating significantly less heat even after a hard run).

I think if you tried to thermowrap the factory cast mainfold, it would rust very fast, especially with the ventilated hood that lets rain get on the manifold so easily. I do think that thermowrap is more efficient than ceramic at retaining heat though...
