Painted surge tanks & valve covers wrinkle black
Did this a few months ago when I changed gaskets. Stuff is easy to work with and the results are fantastic

I put a thin layer of Vaseline on the amg letters. Wipe it off after the paint dries. Then I hit it with a sanding block, being careful not to hit the tank. It's easy.
Follow the directions on the can. Need to spray it on thick then heat it in the sun or with a heat gun to get the wrinkles. You can also paint over it with regular high heat paint if you want a different color. I was thinking about doing a gunmetal or something.

It says Eastwood on the can. They have some great products for the garage as well.

Local auto parts store had some VHT valve cover wrinkle paint, so I did mine up yesterday. Since I had everything around the supercharger off, I went ahead, taped it up, and hit it with a light coat of Duplicolor silver caliper paint. It came out real nice and didn't take much paint at all:
