I bought the High Heat paint from Autozone which can withstand temps of 1200F and i taped off the stuff i didn't want painted and i just sprayed it on....it comes in a spray can...it was very easy...some places the paint will run..so let it dry and then recoat it lightly so it doesn't run....its a very simple thing to do and it looks real good
