coupler from intake to throttle body

Hi, question about paint.
Im trying to paint my rubber like material coupler that connects my intake and throttlebody.
What kind of paint is recommended? im guessing paints that will withstand high temp.?
past experience and maybe brand name of paint would be appreciated!

It also needs to be flexible otherwise it will chip and peel after a while just from the movement of the engine alone.

Just buy the correct coupler in the color you want.

yeah..maybe i should do that..im just running the coupler that came with my arc pipe. blue sucks..doesn't flow at all with rest of my stuff.
maybe i should get pi-thon locks and paint that flat or semi black? or does pi-thon make black aluminum locks? wait, does pi-thon even make locks for throttlebody-intake connection?

pi-thon doesn't make anything anymore

they did, however, make the induction locks you're looking for. i believe a set of polished induction locks traded in the marketplace within the last 1-2 months.

do not paint it. There is nothing that will prevent the paint from chipping/peeling withing the first couple of removals...
