Not heat proof but flame proof, the heat proof stuff from autobarn and supercrap will burn off in no time.

be careful doing that, even the flameproof still burns off extractors and it will wreck the original coating if it does, also i do believe it may void warranty, being that the blue coating is a special pacemaker ceramic paint ment to protect the extractors.

JoesAU - What colour did you paint yours?
From what i have found a lot of the problem with painting them seems to be what colour you paint them, as to how well it lasts, but i can't remember whats better and not.

If you can afford it go the ceramic coated headers not just the looks but also reduced heat. As stated around about $250 for 6cyl ones.  Still look the same some 15 months on.
