painting, plating, or coating a heated pitot

I have an old heated pitot tube that i would like to refurbish and use on my next RV. It was painted, but the paint was in really bad shape. I could paint it again but am concerned about the heat discoloring the paint. Does anyone know of a good place that would either powder coat, plate, or otherwise provide some type of heat resistant finish on this pitot tube. Or better yet a source where i could buy the paint and do it myself. It is my understanding that these tubes will heat up to about 450 degrees farehheight?

Steve... engine enamel is good to 500F - that should do the trick....
