Mine isn't a SE air cleaner but I painted it black and polished all the front edges and it looks almost like the engine now.

Looked at ACE hardware, Home Depot, Wally's, and a couple other places, and gave up. Couldn't find "wrinkle" paint anywhere, and went with some Hi Heat BBQ flat black that I already had.
When I got to Autozone, after the fact to order my K&N filter, I saw they had "VHT black wrinkle" for $8.

I hit the exposed areas of mine with one of those fat black magic markers. It looks pretty good if I don't say so myself. Cost $0. Needs occasional touch-up but holds up fairly well.

Mine was painted by an HD Tech using flat black rattle can paint; looks fine after 2+/20K miles.

Sprayed mine with Rustoleum Satin black 2 years ago and no problems yet. Looks much better!!! Only painted outside as I did not want paint going into motor if it decided to peel.
