How hot do hedders get?

I am going to paint my hedders while i have them removed and was wondering what kind of paint i should use. I bought some that is 900 degrees and some that is 1200 degrees. Will this be good enough?

it will only last a little while, then it will scratch and some will burn off, and it will rust and still look kinda gross. i say don't paint them.

Have real good luck with Duplicolor High Heat paint, 1200 degree. Not expensive and it is a really good all around spray paint too.
