    I've used PJ1 or VHT. Both roughly about the same. Expect to strip & re-coat every year in my experience.

      I used vht and had to repaint almost immediately thanks to the same brake fluid spill that killed my tank paint. I hope to get mine ceramic coated this year if possible

        Were you shooting brake fluid through a spray gun? Most people get a drop or two on their paint...

          I have used high temp paint, at home, on several sets of pipes.
          I think the header wrap does look cool, though.

          Having had a couple sets ceramic coated, I have to say that I prefer that.
          (Obviously more expensive.)

              Another good use for brake fluid, besides spraying it on paint; it kills attacking hornets, instantly.
