Spray painting exhaust manifold or headers - high temperature ceramic paint

Applying and curing 2000 degree Rust-oleum high heat paint on my Saturn s-series cast iron exhaust manifold. Other paints are VHT Flame Proof, KBS Xtreme, and Thermo Tec Hi-Heat to name a few. Eastwood carries a product called Fox Body, Painting is much cheaper and easier than ceramic coating but may not last as long. I will report back on the condition as time progresses.
You will see that first I applied the high temp primer, then the paint which in my case produces a nice silver finish.
Prep work is critical. I cleaned this manifold with a wire brush on a drill then washed it in the sink with soap, then cleaned with acetone before painting.
Unlike the 500 degree paint I used on the intake this 2000 degree paint requires a curing process which can either be conducted on the vehicle or in an oven. I used the oven. The curing process shown in this video involves heating the parts to increasingly higher temperatures with a cool down time between. This tempers the paint to bring it up to full specifications.
