Can this steel cover be painted? Would like to paint this black. If so, what kind of paint can I use? I'm thinking caliper paint that is heat resistant, epoxy type paint. Is this suitable?

I found this one on ebay...

If it's stainless steel I wouldn't recommend it, but I'm guessing that won't stop you. Just realize it's going to take a lot more work than just spraying a coat of paint on it. If you want it to last you'll need to prep it and apply multiple coats, with additional work to each layer.

Plastidip. Only prep work necessary is cleaning it. Durable, easy to use, and you'll only need one can so its cheap too

Hey, just wondering why you would not recommend painting stainless steel.

So I bought the rust oleum high heat automotive spray paint as suggested above from home depot. Now I'm reading that for best results, using a high heat primer would be beneficial in order for the paint to last longer on stainless steel. Is this true?

I am looking to purchase this..

Or is it not needed at all? Also, should I sand the steel cover before applying the spray paint? Looking to do this DIY over this weekend.
