I want to paint my engine cover red to get my engine bay looking better but i was worried about the heat buildup cracking the new paint. Is that going to be a problem or should i just forget about it.

bro i did just thate with caliper paint ///it looks badass havent had any issues...also put red tubing all over...we will see in a week

Just use high temp paint and it will be fine. High temp paint is made for calipers, valve covers, etc. so it can definately withstand the heat.

I painted my engine cover with red engine paint and painted my calipers with the same damn paint. it's been over 10 months, no cracks, everything looks fine. A little dusty though.:toothless

I painted my calipers and it think it looks good i was also thinking about painting some parts under hood i was thinking about tower bar but i am not sure yet i want to be sure, before i paint anything
