I used ceramic high temp header paint. Gasoline doesnt bother it, and it turned out a nice shade of black - not too dull or shiny... Can be bought at Auto Zone or similar places...:)

If reading these posts correctly, it's good to hear about high temp rattle can spray paint being gasoline proof.

Is oven-curing required after painting? :unsure:

Have had good results using high temp rattle can paint on motorcycle exhaust header pipes (and just letting it self-cure while riding).
But never doused or wiped them with gasoline to test whether fuel proof.

Good Fortune! :)
