Default Paint For Engine Brackets

I bead blasted all of my engine brackets and sprayed them with Rustoleum. I've had good success with Rustoleum on previous engine builds but am concerned with how it will do on the A/C mounting bracket that mounts on the passenger side exhaust manifold.

Will it bake off? Should I spray it with high temp paint?

Since the bracket will be a PITA to re-do once installed, I want to make sure I don't have to do it twice.
