Regular or High Heat primer 4 engine compartment?
I have high heat black engine enamel and kinda got carried away and stripped the engine compartment all the way to the bare metal, completely. Can it be painted with Dupli-color engine enamel without primer on raw metal or am I going to have to prime it. The can doesn't say, but I would assume it would have to be primed. Can I use regular car primer or do I need to get some type of hi-temp engine primer?
One automotive primer I have says not to exceed 200 degrees F. Does the engine compartment reach this temp or would the primer peel off even with a high-temp topcoat enamel. I assume if the area reaches 200F, then it will bubble or peel (or burn off). Does the engine compartment get this high? (not talking about painting engine parts, I know they get hotter.)
Thanks for the advice.
