I painted this with Duplicolor High heat paint. The paint claims it was was made to paint headers/ exhaust and take up to 1200 degrees. I sanded it down 150/220/400 followed by a wet sand...... applied a silver undercoat (same paint) and sprayed the top color. A few more steps were involved, but i glossed it out..... not to bad for rattle cans. I ran the car about 10 miles and baked the paint onto the cover ( I sat the cover on a towel on top of the engine to heat it) lol. I ran the car back up to normal operating temps and held it there a little while. The paint seems to be holding up well. Comments? The cover came from agallardo ( great guy) he has some headers and and SC kit up for sale.

Gloss it up ?
Flatten it out ?
Leave as is ?

Thanks
