What paint for painting fan housing?

Sorry, but stupid question of the day!

I'm going to be removing the fan housing from my Type 4 engine in the near future in order to do some other jobs and figured I should give it a clean up and paint while I have it out.

Do I need to be using a high temperature resistant paint on it, some other specific type of paint, or will any old paint do?

Thanks.

Nick...

 

I used rustoleum, which is not heat resistant specifically, but has been fine.i I did the whole engine. Bay in the stuff

I sand blasted mine and just clear coated.
Au natural

 

Try "Alumablast" from Frost - looks lovely on mine!

 

Thanks for your feedback everyone.

I like the look of that Alumblast as need a simple good looking solution - so thanks Grazzer

 

You don't really need hi-temp paint. It doesn't get really hot.

 

Thanks snotty - good to get comfirmation on that

 

As @snotty said, it gets hot, but not that hot...

I give my ones a etch prime, and a coat of base coat... looks a little tidier than the bare ally!!

 

Thanks Paul
