If you are looking for opinions it doesn't look very good and probably isn't very durable. If you aren't looking for opinions, then ignore me

regular high temp spraypaint...

sanded it down with a 180 first.. followed by a 320 to get rid of rough edges and scratches.. a layer of primer and then the paint :D
