Default Long tube header paint question

I am putting MAC LT headers on my 97 and an trying to figure out the best header paint to use. I am stationed in Germany so VHT Flameproof is not an option as you can't ship it over here. I have found a local header paint that is good for 1440 degrees so I am thinking that it will work. What do you all think. I have had the headers media blasted clean and now need to protect them from the rust.

I have already gone thru he'll to get these over here and now just want to coat them to protect them from the rust. I figure the 1200-1400 degree paint will work. What do you think?

Awesome thank you. I've just got to find an oven as the European ovens won't even hold a standard size American cooking pan

Just an update for you all. I found a guy with a huge upright smoker, he is going to let me hang them in the smoker and as Lind as I buy the gas he will heat cure them for me. Should be an interesting sat, drink beer, and smoke LT headers.
