Hood vent needs some paint

Hey guys looking at respraying the mesh on the hood vent and in the bumper. Is a standard auto spray paint ok for this? I'm worried about the paints getting too hot, especially on the hood vent.

I haven’t done the hood mesh, but I’ve hit the front with a high temp BBQ paint a couple of times. I wouldn’t think twice to use it on the hood as I think it’s good for 500 degrees. And it dries flat black and fairly quick.
