Default Best high temp paint?

I have a 79 with black painted sidepipes, I've had to sand and repaint them a couple times because the paint always cracks and starts flaking off no matter what...was wondering whats a good paint that lasts a long time?

I've seen some posts where guys swear by the generic BBQ black paint from HD or Lowes. Otherwise POR 15 makes a High Temp paint called Black Velvet.
