high temp engine paint on plastic aye? Is it holding up well? I wanna do this to mine but I don't want the paint to peel off and look like sh it, obviously.

no no peeling it actually holds up better than the factory black . And I beleive the valve covers are made of fiberglass so be careful when sanding .

I did mine. I painted them alluminum looking with High temp paint too. They match my manifold and everything. Looks pretty sick with the yellow coils and all. . .

Those of you that have painted and installed... Have you had any problems with the paint chipping post installation? Any Scratches or chips when sliding the drivers side in past the brake booster? I have mine pulled apart right now for timing chains and just want to dress it up a little under the hood.
Thanks,
Brad
