paining engine components
I wanna paint some parts in my engine bay, there are a lot of posts out there about painting interiors, but nothing about engine bays. i will get heat resistant spray paint and spray it on.
is it that easy? is that the correct way, what is priming? do i have to do that first?
sorry to sound noobish, but i wanna learn

Rep Power: 0 it's pretty easy if you know what you doing......
you need to prime because you want the paint to stick to the pieces you painting.....
Tip: spray thin layers and let dry than spray more thin layers and let dry..... don't spray thick layers.... will take forver to dry and may run on you
