Exhaust painting??

Exhaust painting??
I have the motor out of my s-10 fixing some leaks and want to detail it a little. I would like to paint the motor blue,(same color as the truck)the brackets black and the exhaust manifolds silver-ish. My question is..... what paint will hold up on the motor/exhaust???
Maybe powder coating would be a better choice???
My truck is 18 years old and the clear just starting flaking off and for the most part is in great shape so I thought why not.

Cast iron manifolds get HOT - over 600°F.
Powder coating is not the method.
VHT has paint, but it should be cured in place.
Apply, run engine for about ten minutes, let cool over night.
Follow instructions.

Thanks Guys.....I've got some VHT paint. So fare I've been painting the block and brackets and will get to the exhaust last. I'm waiting on a few gasket. I built the motor 30K miles ago so I'm just cleaning and trying to make it look nice
