Should a special type of paint be used on a forced air HVAC heat register

I'm not sure if the higher temperatures would compromise the finish.

If you mean the registers used in forced air HVAC then they are not really exposed to any extreme temperatures that would warrant a special paint. I would imagine that the most common type of paint used is a matt or metallic spray paint. Clean them well before painting and make sure to paint in a well ventilated area!
