Title: Will normal paint work?
Post by: The dutchman on February 14, 2014, 06:27:07 PM
Hi
I want to paint my alternator, some other parts and maybe my UIM.

But will normal paint hold up?
Or does it need heat resistant paint?

Thanks :D

If it was like my old fd\'s engine bay normal paint would not stand a chance as it got very hot under there ! Lol...Best to find some hi temp paint else could look a mess in a real short time!
