Wanting to paint my cam covers on my GTi and need to know what sort of paint. I'm guessing high-temp but I am a paint noob. Also can you get high temp primer?

Cheers

Same ^^

Sprayed mine in the new focus rs green...!

Make sure you mask off underneath where the seals are etc.. dont want paint flaking in there!

So like off the shelf spray cans from halfords would be ok then?

ye, just remember 95% of a good spray job is in the prep work
