Hiya guys and gals, anyone know if standard car body paint is ok for the grey cam cover on a 1.4 Furio? Or will it get too hot and blister? Job will be done right, rubbed down well, dust blown off, keyed, primered and painted. Anybody any experience good or bad?

its fine to use normal paint mate! colour coded mine about 2 month back and its perfect still! your rocker cover doesnt get that hot. your manifold cover and calipers require heat resistant paint but thats it!

hope this clears things up for you
