Great advice, just a couple of questions:

What kind of primer/clear coat do you use? If it's regular, won't it be affected by the heat like low-temp paint would?

Also, do you have any tips on cleaning up the "rust-looking" staining on the header? I wouldn't want to remove nor replace mine but I would like to have it shine again.

Oh, and as for your engine bay:
I used PlastiKote Hi-Temp Engine Enamel for all painted surfaces. (except exhaust manifold).

The headers/exhaust manifolds need to be sanded, then primed and painted with Super Hi-temp paint. No less than 1200 degrees.

I used black Bar-B-Q grill paint on my exhaust manifold and applied it with a brush.
