I am thinking about painting my valve cover but not sure what kind of paint to use? my buddy use brake high temp paint and it does really look that good. Its a stock D15z1 motor but want to make it look a lil better. So what kind of spray paint should i use?

yea i was reading some of the other posts and when my buddy did his valve cover he used high temp paint and like 3-4 mouths later it looked bad and was all rinkeled up. i just want to paint it ones and to do it the right way and have it last. I just wanted to get some different opinions befour i painted it?
