Halfords (ewwww !) - sell heat resistant paint at a fair price for alloys and other metals. They even do that exhaust manifold paint that's supposed to be as hard as nails . . . nails in oven gloves . . . nails in oven gloves made of asbestos. I don’t think it’s as good as the stuff on the B2 Stealth Bomber, but will most probably last better than the default Ducati stuff.
