VT V6 Engine cover paint

[mitchoVR]

Hi all
I want to paint the engine cover on my VT but just wondering which paint I should use? I've got vinyl and plastic paint but do I need the high temp engine paint? any help would be great.

There is quite a lot on this site covering this topic already. Personally when I painted the lettering on mine I used high temp Engine Enamel.

heres what i did with mine, just used a can of touch paint to color match it, and the red is just normal every day paint, hasnt peeled or anything, the vs engine doesnt get hot enough to peel the paint

Looks good man, I did my four cover nuts red, too.

thats not a bad idea vymad, i didnt bother painting them because as you can see in pic, i only have 3, im going to replace the lot to red sounds good
