autozone high temp paint. red 6407. i painted it then waited til it was dry, but not too dry and then i peeled the top of the letters with a razor blade. after it dried real good i sanded the top for a polish with some 400grit.
don't put the valve cover in the oven after painting even though the paint can says it's ok. i did it and had to strip the cover and redo it. came out aight though.
edit: for the charge pipe i just used .94 cent flat black
they don't get too hot to mess up the paint.
