I was thinking of doing mine using Eastwood's Ceramic caliper paint kit and brushing it on...Problem is there is only Black, Red, or Silver.

I bet the polished housing were done using electro-polishing...

Heat retention variance with a gun did not show any difference before and after painting mine with 3 coats of engine paint. This was done long ago, no issues. Just clean it well. Painting is 90% prep. Post up pics.
