I bought some high temp paint at the local autoparts store and it has worked good. I put on about three coats.

Any local auto parts store

You can also go to a good supply place and buy it in quarts/gallons custom mixed, but spray cans will suffice.

I just got that stuff from Wal-Mart. I put on about 6 coats and it has been holding up really well.

Cool, so I could get some of that nice blue paint from Autozone.. Can the aluminum housing be painted? I know they look better polished but just wondering..
