When painting engine parts, like valve covers, etc., will using 500 degree paint be adequate? Or is 1200 degree necessary? I sprayed some stuff down w/o lookin at the can, and noticed it was the lower temp. paint, wondering if it will hold up or if i should strip it down and repaint w/ higher temp paint.

 

for vavle covers some cheap as Krylon will work.... however, i used some Duplicolor high heat engine enamel when i painted my engine, my engin block, transmission ad valve cover all all painted "Ford Dark Blue" looks hella good to, no problems so far

 

k, thanx
