Default Spray paint before wrap it?

Hey guys, I am about the wrap my downpipe (btw, maddad downpipe is awesome)

I was wondering should I use Hi-temp paint spray it once before I wrap it, then spray it again after I wrapped it? Or should I just skip the first spray step and just go ahead wrap it then spray to seal it?

I'd search but seems no one spray paint it before they wrap it, was wondering if it can help prevent water store under the wrap or it's a bad idea cuz the paint will burn off?

Thank you very much

I sprayed it first then wrapped it, I pulled it off the car last week with
28k on the DP, 2 winters and found no rust and the wrap is still in
good shape.
