Looks good! I recently painted mine red, i want to get "Corvette" letters on em. I used engine paint, works awesome. Also did a few C6's at work with DUpont Chromabase/clear and held up great too. Hold up to heat fine too.

I used high-temp engine paint:
I laid a coat of white down, put letters down (adhesive style), and then laid the red on top. And free-handed black around the white to bring it out of the red.
I'll work on getting bigger pic posted.
