I was looking at that....do you think a good high temp paint will hold up? Or should I just wire brush it until it shines? I figured it gets way too hot to keep any paint on it.

I have some graphics found on ebay, and I beleive they are from Flu...any suggestions on where to buy?

... they make paint that goes up to 1200* so, i think it would last

but if you don't get the metal very clean the rust will go though the paint
