engine paint ?'s
well i had my valve covers blasted and primed, have to paint them, and the plenum, and the runners... problem is, i don't really like the colors of "engine enamels" i see, so wondered how well some of that other stuff would hold up. ?
didn't really want to do this in the first place, but the runners got messed up by someone else, and covers had corrosion on them, so might as well make it all match.

if you put down epoxy primer first you can paint them with any automotive paint like dupont,PPG, standox, sikkens(sp),etc. then you can use what ever color you want

The Metalkast will work, it has a high-heat tolerance. Probably couldnt use it on the block or heads, but it works great on the runners and valve covers.
