Default Painting the stock upper plenum?

I'm going to be going back to my stock plenum temporarily next week. I'm having to remove my kinetix v4 because I'm getting the turbo installed, and I'd like to dress up the stock plenum cheaply and temporarily until I can get ahold of a kinetix intake manifold.

So, does anyone know if painting a stock plenum with high-temp paint will work? I'm not considering some cheapo wal-mart paint, I'm thinking more like radiator paint or brake rotor paint. Something that withstands high temps and also diffuses heat well. Any suggestions on paint?

And yes, I know I can go get one polished or powdercoated for a few bills. I'm just looking for a cheap, temporary alternative that works.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, but we don't have Kragen here in FL. Does anyone have any specific brand or type of paint they think will work best for this?
