Any paint I've ever seen for stoves or bar-b-ques can't take the extreme heat of exhaust headers. Black paint might just put a coating of carbon on the surface and carbon burns off at high temps. I think a permanent type of paint will either have some kind of ceramic material in it which can bond at the high temps or they might have metal flakes and some kind of binder. Unfortunately, these things aren't going to be on the ingredient list so you have to ask the company if their paint can take these temps.
