What high temp PAINT should I use on TES?

Hi all,
I have delayed putting my TES headers on because I wanted them Jet Hot coated but now I want to save $$$ and high temp paint them myself. Any ideas on which brand is best? Eastwood has some silver paint that looks pretty good.

I used Eastwood's Header/Manifold coating and I am happy with the results. Sorry, I don't have any close up pictures scanned yet to post. I used the cast iron grey color because a friend gave it to me. I bet the polished aluminum color looks even better. I used the brush on and one pint will coat shorty headers five to ten times. Only bad news is the shelf life is only six months after opening and a year if not opened.
