Used VHT High temp paint, prep was wipe down with mineral spirits, and let dry, masked off areas not to be painted, primed with 3 coats of high temp primer, and then 4 coats of VHT High temp(brake caliper paint) unmasked before paint has fully cured to prevent pulling(chipping) and I might add that I kept my fingers crossed the entire time.
