just make sure that the color you wanna lay down is high heat. I'm not sure about the clear coat though, I haven't seen any clear that is high heat. I'm currently doing my cover, jsut finished the primer, wrinkle red tomorrow

 

looks good but for some reason i thought that if you put down a high temp. base you could put down any kind of paint w/o any problems but i could be worng


if i cant paint it to match my car i may do white wrinkle or black

you can put the the valve cover in the oven after you paint to help it cure better, then spray some clear

 

at what temperature and for how long?

im hoping to do this over my Christmas vacation so i jus wanna make sure that im not going to mess it up. im going to do a high temp primer (i know i dont need hight temp but for peace of mind and jus to be safe) then put down a few coats of clover green pearl bake it then put a few coats of clear. also how long do you think this will last on a DD. would i be safer jus doing wrinkle paint?
