If you want to just paint them even then it seems difficult to get paint to stick to new headers.
Once the headers have been installed and gotten some oil and rust on them you can forget about repainting them and getting the paint to stick around for a long time, unless you sand blast them. If you do sand blast the paint will stick to them and stay there like chewing gum on a cat.
For my diesel I am going to sand blast my turbo manifolds and ceramic coat them inside and out, I dont think the manifolds will be wraped.
The cross over pipe will be wraped with header wrap and covered with my salvaged "silicone sock".
