Default Painting a polished CAI ?

So I got my Takeda Attack stage 2 in today thing is I wanted it to be red from the beginning. I thought I would find all kinds of info or videos showing a good way to paint it and what paints to use. I'm thinking a high heat or ceramic type paint. Maybe caliper paint? I'm wondering how to correctly paint polished intake tubing and what paint would be best to use so it sticks and has at least a little heat resistance. Don't troll me please I really did try searching but I only found for rough surfaces or sand blasting which I don't have access to. I've painted calipers before but those are rough and pitted of course this is a little different.

Thanks for any advice I want this done right so if I need to wait and have them sand blasted I will but if it's possible to paint poilished aluminum properly then I will. I want it red btw not that the color should mater?
