Default Valve Cover Paint?

What kind of paint can you use to paint a valve cover? I want something that can withstand the heat. I can get DupliColor high heat from work but dont know if that would work or not.

Flame away but the reason I am asking is because I am painting a valve cover camoflauge. No one around here can powdercoat in camo so I must paint.

Any typical high-temp paint will do, such as specific engine paint or BBQ grill paint.

duplicolr high heat is good. also if you want it to shine you can spray on 2 coats of duplicolr wheel clear. looks awesome when done.
