I just got done porting my motor and I painted the plates red. I used high temp paint and HIGH TEMP PRIMER. Yessss thats right , they do make it.
I didn't paint my housings though. I just polished them instead

eh, I have a kerosene turbine heater... It wasnt cold enough to make it uncomfortable for me so I wasnt using it. They were just still cold as hell from the night temps, and it made me put more thought into why exactly I wanted to paint them anyways.... Looking at my old irons they didnt have any corrosion on them or anything so I didnt see any need to paint them to keep from rusting... I couldnt think of any significant performance difference, I guess if the paint has ceramic in it, there may be a small insulating effect.. at that point it seemed no different than sticking vinyl stickers on my hood... so no paint it is.
