Needs to be a plastic one to avoid cross-contamination and/or chemical reactions from a metal (of any description) one though.

Autotek make good paint and although i've not used that particular VHT paint, the one i have used has been oil resistant.

Something i have found that works well (for the most part, doubt it would work on exhaust manifolds) is to use the VHT paint as the primer for a brighter, normal colour on top. It seems to "protect" the normal paint on top from the heat and it retains a good finish.
