Default Ceramic coating Alpina E9 headers

Hi, I have some Alpina E9 headers that are pretty rusty. I am considering taking them to a local place called Fireball coatings to help them last longer. They get good reviews locally for their work. What colour should I go with to keep them stock and accurate?

Tia.

I guess they would need a thorough cleaning and inspection before you get them coated though? I don't think I've heard of people getting headers coated if they are already rusty. Would it make sense to get new ones and have those coated? I'm assuming new headers wouldn't be cheap though...

Tha Alpina E9 headers are pretty rare, so new ones would be spendy if I could find them at all.

Alpina informed me that they are not Alpina made. Sigh. Oh well, they are now ceramic coated headers of unknown manufacture.
