Painting the SC?

so being that i have the black truck, the black eye ( no, not a bruse around my eye, my actual eye is gloss jet black, and no its not a contact. ) im thinkin' i wanna paint my plenum and supercharger black. whats the best way to go about this? im thinking alot of masking tape and some high-temp stuff, like brake caliper paint. am i headed in the right direction here?

Probably the only thing that will stick over a length of time is powder coating.

Ya what he said

My Upper and Mag was originally painted by my neighbors Body Shop,
they were Sanded, Primed, Painted, Baked, and Clear Coated to be exact.
It truly did come out like Glass







My Eaton, I actually just grabbed a can of good ole Black Gloss Rustoline
and it actually came out just as good, (but of course baking it and clear caoting it is better)

WATCH OUT WITH CLEAR COAT

MAKE SURE YOU USE THE SAME TYPE OF PAINT AND CLEAR COAT
example: BOTH ENAMAL, DONT ASK ME HOW I KNOW THIS
