Lightbulb Certain paint for engine bay/cover??

I wanna paint my cover and the bars and I am concerned with the paint getting hot and possibly starting on fire? Is there a certain type or just primer and duplicolor?

I used Silver High heat Caliper paint for my 3400 SFI cover and I've ran with it on there for a long time and nothing happened to it, just got dirty from me taking it off while working on my car lol. Whatever cover it is it will usually have some sort of foam padding underneath it sitting on top of the UIM. UIM's don't get anywhere near that hot to start plastic on fire let alone the paint unless you painted the bottom of it or flipped it upside down, if that. (which idk why you would do those two things anyways lol)
