Should I paint my exhaust manifolds?

Hi,

This may be a dumb question, but I was wondering if there was a good way to clean up the look of my 289 Hipo manifolds. I am not interested in spending the money to have them powdercoated or anything, I was just wondering if someone out there makes a nice rattle can of hi-temp parts coating that would shine and protect without baking off.

Thanks

No header paint is going to last too long. Having said that, I do believe Eastwood makes a "cast iorn" looking header paint that might look pretty good for a short while. Anybody here used it?
