I used this stuff in silver........ HT Silicone Coating 010301 | Purchase DEI, CryO2, Ny-Trex, Boom Mat & SPA Turbo Products | Design Engineering, Inc. - Thermal Performance Products
It's inexpensive, one can is more than enough. And adhesion seems be great.
I removed the various panels/pieces, used a coarse 3M scuff pad. There were a couple of areas that were crusty and I cleaned them with a wire wheel. Wiped down with enamel reducer (brake cleaner also works, just more expensive)... and painted. IIRC two coats. Re-installed the shields with hi-temp anti-seize on the studs.
Been on for about 5 years now. Still looks great.

I used the high temp engine paint on my TII turbo ...the 1500 degree stuff works good...I painted the exhaust side black and it turned to a gray color...the paint held up though...had 3k on it before I lost the car...the key with getting it to stick is prep...
