Default What paint for spark plug cover?

Just a quick question, what kind of paint should I use to paint my spark plug cover? (B series) I am assuming it might have to be a high temp paint but maybe it doesn't get hot enough, I'm not sure. BTW im looking to paint it black.

Thanks

ehh i used kryon bbq/stove paint at walmart its like 5 bucks a can here is a pic, looks oem to me





ya here is basic step i did

strip the oem paint with air craft stripper,

wash it with soap get all those slimy thing off from stripper

i put my cover in oven for 5 minutes 100 degrees make sure it is dry,

spray 3 LIGHT coats, i start with sides and small edge areas

then put it back in oven for 7 more miuntes at 100-150 degrees

open the oven door for 30 seconds get some heat off, leave it in there for few hrs to insure fuly dry before install, i just left my in there over night, lol

and u dont have to oven it but it helps paint to stick better and wont chip off ez

hope this helps
