Question Anybody ever paint a Holley carb?

I'm getting ready to rebuild a Holley 650 double pump that i have and was thinking about painting it after i get all of the parts cleaned. Just wondering if anyone has done this with any success and if so what kind of paint did you use.

Thanks
John

I doubt any paint would hold up long on one.
