What Paint did you use for Engine Bay? (Covers)
I just visited one of my local body shop and they use PPG waterborne paint. They told me they dont recommand PPG on high temperture because the paint is water base. PPG just changed there product few weeks ago to water base... Correct me if I am wrong because I got that info from the body shop.
*This body shop was recommanded by the dealership
So my question is.. what paint did you guys use? I know there are few people out there that painted their engine and battery covers.

i was actually thinking about making a thread about this...but skyline-lexy you beet me to it lol so i'll just ask some questions here since its on topic.
my questions where basically:
-do you need a high-temp paint to paint the covers mentioned above? cause duplicolor has tons of different types of auto paint.
-Is it recomended to prime the parts first and if so do you need a special primer?
-Is there special type of clear coat for this?
basically i guess the main question do you really need high-temp stuff (primer, paint, clear coat) or is it fine to use the basic.

Anything that was pink we used my House of Kolor paint for.
EDIT: when you look carefully enough you can see the pearl in the paint as well.
