painted some stuff under the hood... questions

[drowndindreams]

I painted the air intake, master cylinder lid, fuse lid, and some other stuff. i didn't sand or anything, just painted. I'm wondering if it's going to hold up under the heat? It was just regular spray paint.

I think their is a good chance it should hold up,atleat for a good while.In the future tho,always try to scuff up the serface of anything you intend on painting.

I painted the motor cover on my old '04 Police Impala a while ago and it is still holding up from what i have been told.However,i did scuff the serface slightly before painting.

If i was you, i woulda scuffed everything down with a red scotch pad. then shot it with some paint..

talking of painting I plan when I do my valve cover gaskets to paint the covers red.

huh???

As long as you at least degreased the parts first, it should hold up for a little while.

should I get some special paint, like that can handle high temps???

you mean you want to paint the valve caps? yea you're gonna need high heat resistant

I want to paint my calipers and drums black. I guess the same principle would apply? Sand or scuff them before I prime and paint?
