Well I got an intake and valve covers from the junk yard the other day and I want to paint them so I can see if I want to do the ones on my car or if I want to get them powder coated or professianlly done. What do I need to do it my self? High heat paint? How long will it last? ANY info would help ALOT. :cool:


TIA

when i painted my intake and vavle covers this is what i used

-scotch bright pad (kinda like a brillow pad)
-Fillable automotive primer (that that holds heat)
- any automotive paint 500degrees and up.

just tape off where the gaskets go (cause i learned the hard way its a pain in the ass to get that paint off haha.

i sprayed for coats of primer on. to make sure the paint would stick no problem..
Just start spraying very light coats at first, then you can spray on a little more every time after that.
then i did 4 coats of paint on everything else as well

i used Duplicolor 1200Degree paint, I have had mine done for a couple months now it still looks good, just keep up on the cleaning. and it should last a good bit.
