Is there a durable, high temp paint for the stock valve covers? Regular engine paint scratches off the first time you pop in the bail wire. I have an "industrial" rustoleum paint that may work. But it says not for over 200F.
Thanks. Scott. |

I use a nice cheap spray paint on mine. I spray them before I put them on. Than after I scrap the the shit of of them getting them on, I spray them again. They look nice.
Also, I will never use any color other than black from now on. I used red for a while and it looked great for one a/x run. It went downhill quick after that. Paul |
