probably been asked but how do you colour code ur rocker cover without the paint blistering from the heat? , or basicly just changing the colour , as needs to come off as changing gasket seal? but still what paint to use?

you dont need heat resistant paint. normal paint has always been fine for everyone i know who has done it. just give it plenty of time to dry

heat resistant paint is the proper way to go about it, but if you want to use normal paint, then go ahead! :)

if somethin gets hot enough to warrant it then yeah but rockers covers dont. same with calipers.
nothing wrong with using it just a waste of money if it dont need it.

you can use just normal paint just make sure you use an etch primer, a good 4 coats of paint and 4 coats of laquer, leve it for a week to harden, it should be fine
