what paint to use.......

I don't know if this has been talked about before.......

I'm thinking of painting the plastic engine cover, and some other under the hood parts in my coupe.

I just want to know what type / brand of spraypaint would you guys recommend.

The best thing to do is put two coats of high temp primer then 2-3 coats of high temp paint, then 2 coats of high temp clear coat. that should work fine. Any high temp paint will do. It is not like it is going to get abused in the engine bay, just there for looks.

Plastikote Brake Caliper paint. I've used this paint on items from my Brakes to my Interior. Just make sure whatever you use is high temp. paint. Just go to Pep Boys and look in the spray paint section and you'll find what you need. I didn't use primer, but it never hurts to use it.
