Painting headers

Hey guys, I scored some BBK shorties from a pony guy. They were a little rusty but cleaned up GREAT!.. Should I paint these or just go with them. I have read that VHT hi-temp paint will work , but is short term. I know ceramic coating would be the way to go but that is high $$$$$.  What are your thoughts?

Totally, mine was flameproof header paint, and in the frantic business of first startup and trying to diag my early running problems, they didn't cure correctly.  Do it in an oven.
