Best Header Paint ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just blew a hole out on the drivers side of my Hedman 69230 headers. Sucks cuz it's my fault I went and wrapped them. Lifetime warranty void.
I had them DIY ceramic coated with some goop from Eastwood, I airbrushed on, and prebaked in my Mom's ex Hotpoint oven.
They were new in '99, I had them cleaned/sandblasted and did the Eastwood thing in '07 and that lasted thru to '18.
I thought with the ceramic job, they wouldn't rust with DEI 2" mummy wrap.
I was trying to lower underhood temps. Also got a hushed effect too. They got much quieter. But they blew out anyway

.

Eastwood no longer sells the ceramic stuff.

Looking for something more durable than spray-on VHT. Also bored with black.
Application is 350 SBC in '71 GMC 4x4 Jimmy, Manual Trans.
Any ideas?
