Default Painting RSD A/C with high temp paint

Well due to stupid anodizing black turning a shade of purple over time and from heat, I decided it was time to due something about my RSD A/C. I repainted some stuff this past weekend and had a couple cans of gloss black high temp paint left over. Washed the parts really well, sanded them down and cleaned them again then gave them plenty of coats of the paint. They are currently drying but here is the front of the A/C. Will post pics when it's back together later. Here's a quick shot of the cover, went all black rather than taping off the contrast cut parts.

Looks great, would you post pics of the other stuff you painted and the paint products you used.

Here it is put back together. I used gloss black krylon high temp grill paint and sanded it with 1000 grit sand paper. There weren't really any rough spots on it so I figured a high grit sand paper would be best.

Sorry, that was Rustoleum high temp grill paint that I used. I'm thinking about doing my exhaust heat shields with the same paint.
