I haven't painted one before but a suggestion would be to google SEM paints. Made for painting plastic parts. Good product but not sure about how engine hea would affect the finish.

Thanks it won't work with SEM the heat will cause it to peel I used SEM on my coolant tank and windshield tank.

I painted my LS6 intake as part of a larger project. Special thanks to neutron82 for his help with the painting process. He answered numerous questions I had about the great job he did on his intake and he gave me several tips. This was a rattle can job I did in my garage. Check it out.
