I'd say silver but make sure you use high temp paint otherwise it will turn a nice shade of silvery brown laugh

I tried high temp wrinkle paint as my heat shield had started to get a bit of surface rust. It looked ace for a week or so, now it looks quite scabby, I don't think the VHT wrinkle paint is up the the job!

Might try some barbecue paint next, it certainly seems to last ok on the hot bits of the barbie (the metal cooking device, not the doll...).

K9huff, did you prep the surface properly before painting on the high temp stuff? It needs a proper sanding and cleaning for the paint to stick properly...or it'll flake in no time.
