djrm Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I am going to get some paint to touch up some of the bits in my engine bay... Would brake caliper paint do? As it is heat resistant? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djrm Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 Well originally I was going to do the plenum but I am now polishing... So not sure now! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrm Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 Well one thing for sure is the strut brace mounts.... would I need heat resistant for those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 i just bought some matt black heat resist paint. if it doesnt work it can always be repainted. just try it and see how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrm Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 Yeah that's what I figured.... Might actually paint my strut brace bronze.... Instead of polishing it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 No need for heat resistant paint in the engine bay, unless you're going to paint the exhaust manifold, 2K acrylic is plenty tolerant of heat, my plenum is done with this and i have painted lots of other engine parts in the past, i even did a whole bike engine in it with no problems.
