It was the Grille paint from Home depot, it is in the spray can section. Mine have stood up ok but I may go the Powder Coat option if I decide on keeping it on.
Just curious about the suggestion of powder-coating, I bake powder-coated parts at 400 - 450 degrees, wouldn't the forward end cap get hotter than that? Has anyone done theirs and does it get soft at operating temp.?

I found some paint at the auto parts store, it is Rustoleum and is made for wheels, supposed to be harder to chip etc. etc. I decided against black, the color in person looks kinda like the Black Chrome muffler ends that Projeckt D sells, only about $260 cheaper.
I used the 2000 degree stove paint on the header pipe that is visual under the bike, it is holding so far. I may use it on the end caps also.
Hmmm.... interesting, looks good, I've been thinking about doing my header pipe like that but was leaning towards Jet-hot coating...
What was your purpose in painting it? Since you chose a color similar to stock (silverish), then I have to assume it was to cover damage or permanent discoloration?
