I was wondering if you can use regular spray paint on a valve cover. I am wondering because i do not like the color selection on High Temps. So please let me know if i can paint my valver color any regular spry paint color without using hi temps. Thanks

 

yeah i've used regular paint without a problem.. just make sure you use primer first

 

hi temp primer or regular?

 

ive used a bunch of regular Krylon colors without any problems.

 

i used regular (it was cheaper, lol)

 

alright and would you need to use clear at all or is that by preference?

 

Do you always have to use primer?? I'm pretty sure I've read some where that someone didn't use it and or said you don't have to

 

i never used clear, but the paint was easily scratched.. i'd use clear just to keep the paint protected..

you don't have to but in my experience primer does WONDERS for the paint.. (sticks better, smoother texture)

 

So would i use just any regular clear that is a gloss or do i need an engine enamel clear coat?
