planing on painting parts of my engine cover and all the caps to stuff in my engine bay, am i going to need high temp paint or will regular car paint do just fine?

For the plastic stuff? No. I've painted plastic pieces before, just make sure to clean em really good before painting.

Yeah, you can use regular rattle can paint. But like Steve said, make sure they are clean. Use some rubbing alcohol or brake cleaner to make sure all gunk is removed.

I used spraypaint... Looks pretty good and hasn't flaked on me yet.

thanks everyone.
