Default short and sweet, what paint to use....

I know. I know, but I never found just a topic talking about what kind of paint to paint the IC and IC piping........Im thinking hi temp, flat black, spray paint, or should I just use regular old flat black paint?

regular spray paint (Krylon or Plasticoat are good) or autobody paint is perfect. The pipes don't really get hot so high temp paint is a waste and it doesnt look nearly as good.
