Engine cover paint.

Im very new to doing anything to a car. Ive looked this site over and you all are very helpful. I have a black 3 door 08 yaris With 31,000 miles on it. My wife bought it for me 2 months ago and im just now getting the itch to make it my own. Ive looked over all the engine cover pics and have decided on a pic of my own but i need to no if you have to use some special high heat paint or what kind to use. Thanks for the input. I will post pics as soon as i get started painting

I used a japanese model paint on mine. It's been 3 months and still looks like the day I painted it, so I doubt you need high temp paint.

I don't know where the thread is, but there is an entire thread dedicated to painted engine covers. You may be able to pull it up by searching - there was a lot of really cool info in that thread!! :)

I painted mine last summer with a plastic primer and automotive paint that matches the color of my car. There's no sign of discoloration, so I'd say that high temp paint is not necessary.

Did you guys use heat resistant paint for this???

No. Just a good quality automotive paint.
