Hey Jenifer. Check out the DIY section of the forum section. Also, try a search, this subect has been talked about endless times.

You can use simple spray paint. Most prefer the high temp ones found at the auto parts stores.

The Quick and Dirty info:
1. Remove engine cover
2. Clean it really well (remove crud, grease, etc. - dishwashing detergent works as does any degreaser)
3. Wet sand it (some have dry sanded)
4. Clean again
5. Spray with color of choice
6. Sand again (wet)
7. Spray again
8. Repeat #6 and #7 as necessary
9. Reinstall

Also, don't use all CAPS, thanks.
