LoL ya people on here are real strange about shit like that, anyway just give it a light sandin and then primer then spray, might want to try the high temp paint too.

prolly high temp for both. cuz if the primer cant stand the heat, and just peels off, whats the color sticking to?

i seen a thread somewhere where someone took a grinder and and ground off all the raised letters ect off the cover first , then did a nice sanding , degreased the cover, wiped it down with a tack cloth to remove the dust and dirt, primed it then did another sand, then put on a lite coat of paint, sanded litly then painted again , and then after it set up a few hrs. did the clear coat did a lite sand and another clear and it turned out real nice and looked as if a pro did it but it looked as if it took some time to do it his way ......im looking for the thread for ya,
