Boxhead, yep, VHT Heat Proof paint would be the choice of a lot of Cobra owners with live pipes. It's also what I use now on our live pipes. Just sand back and respray when required.

But with fake pipes you can use some very nice cosmetic finished, 2 pack black/satin clear looks amazing. With the finish of Merv's Cobra, that is the way I would go.
