    Its really not that hard to do. A paint gun is cheap. Or hell if you know how to paint, rattle cans can look great if done right. It just takes time.

    I spray painted mine 2 years ago with non high temp and haven't had any problems with paint peeling or melting. Used the same paint on my valve cover with no problems.
