Don't know for sure, but I'd use something hi-temp (obviously) like engine block or brake caliper paint. If it'* the shiney chrome rice pipe, then make sure you sand it up good, and prime it properly.
Best bet would be to powdercoat it though.

Looks fine, but I'd be worried about how well it holds up. We all know these pipes can get HOT, especially right next to that rad hose.

I pickedup the "rice rocket brand" paint at checker and it is somewhat reflective...see the difference with a flash and no flash...
next up is trying to fab up a copper/aluminum heatshield..maybe not copper but something metal that will moutn up to the stock intak box mounts...I am testing a few ideas.
