Heat resistant paints for aluminum castings

I have a product line of barbecue grills that require custom painted lids with multiple colors. The lids are made from 319 cast aluminum. I'm looking for two things the first being a heat resistant paint or coating that will hold up to tempatures around 600 fahrenheit. The second I need is variety of colors. Can anyone please direct me in the right direction.

You need a silicone polyester. You can get them in various colours. The main end use my company produces this for is stove pipe, so it should work for you. Any good industrial paint supplier should be familiar with this product.
