Regular automotive paint will work just fine.
The only areas that would get too hot are the heads and exhaust manifolds/headers.
You could even paint the block if you desired.
Some guys ( like you ) have the true talent to make it look like you can’t tell the difference . I am not one of them lmaoJeff’s right, powder coating is much more durable.
Though painting works if you bring out your inner anal side, lol.
Powder coat. By the time I have waisted energy getting material the time to prep and paint it right - the powder to me looks better, cleans easier and is so much more durable
That’s 4-5k miles - getting caught in rain etc . Again just my opinion . I just re did a bunch stuff including the valve covers . Lower intake now . Timing cover , heater core pipes etc .
The other Mike has those skills, too.Some guys ( like you ) have the true talent to make it look like you can’t tell the difference . I am not one of them lmao
There was a reason for it . LolYour MSD box is upside down.
Very nice!stripped all the powder off and painted it all. choose what suits you besteither way prep is the key
I’m thinking it’s from putting on too much material too quick. It’s a form of solvent pop.So, after much contemplation, I decided to paint a valve cover. I cleaned the crap out of it. Washed it, rinsed it, washed it again. Final clean was with mineral spirits. Primed with a self etching primer. Wet sanded that with 400. Then I went to work on my very amateur painting skills. It looked great for a while, but when completely dried, I see about a half inch or so on the edge looking dull. Did I not hit that with enough paint, or was it something else that caused it?

That happens when the surface dries/hardens before the solvents had a good chance to leach out. Usually caused by putting the material on too heavy.
