Default 2k paint on a heat shield?

I want to pain a few bits up in me engine bay and was wondering if 2k paint would last agains the heat. I wanted to pain my polished turbo heat shield, header tank and thermostat housing would it be ok to use 2k?

heat shield would bubble no doubt, not great with heat.
i've used it on cam covers but heat shields take much more heat.

high temp paint, but really powder coating would be the best option.
