painting wire cover

To paint my wire cover, do I need to use high temperature paint, or will regular spray paint due? Thanks.

You may as well use high temp paint cuz there is no point in usin regualar spray paint and have it buble on you so ya go wit the high temp, besides the cost is almost the same!

High Temp. I washed it in detergent (dish) soap and rinsed it real good. Let it dry completely and then spray it lightly. It took 4 coats to get the black to red. Lighter colors will take more. If you want to paint the letters, just take your time and use a small brush with some Testors model paint. It will probably take multiple coats of that too.

i just used some regular candy apple blue and it works fine. you'll need high heat paint for the valve cover though.

Mine didn't come with a cover over it... It was already applied to the pipe. i don't have any border around it. Try some windex and see if the "border" is just some junk on the pipe.

All i have is the lettering... no rectangular sticker. The letters are a decal of some sort and there is no rectangular sticker that they are a part of.
