Default Engine Paint Help!!

Arright, i have a 94 honda and because they don' make plug cover engine tops for 94's i got some ingine spray paint from auto zone and sprayed the top myself. It came out good but i started to notice that when i drive the car, because of the heat, the paint is starting to get these wavey ripples in it. It's starting to really look bad. If anyone knows a good engine paint that can withstand heat and harsh conditions, please let me know.

Also, now how the @&$% do i get the old paint of my engine head?

VHT!

VHT makes the best high temp engine paint. They have tons of colors and even high temp paint that can withstand 1500 F if cured right. Make sure you prep whatever you are going to paint and wipe it down with degreaser and thinner. Any oil will cause the paint to lift when it gets hot. They also make a winkle coating that looks really cool.

Also follow the cure instructions on the can after you run your engine initially. You should let it cool for a certain amount of time before it can get hot again.
