What type of High Heat Paint do I need to use?
I wanted to get it color matched to my car, but the Auto Paint store that mixes paint for people only has paint that can withstand 550 degrees.
Do you think 550 is good enough?
Also what have you guys been using? Have you needed an adhesion promoter or anything? Are you using Clear Coat? What is the Painting steps you have been using?
Thanks!
cheap spray paint, i did silver flames on mine and its still as good as new after 2 years, also i didn't clear coat mine so it has a lil rought texture to it, but its all good.

I just used Krylon from autozone and it's lasted over a year and a half and 40,000 miles and still looks great. No clear coat either.Quote:

Alright so i should be good...
It was $20 a can, But I cant find my exact cars color by dupli-color or krylon. And it is a High Heat paint. So all should be good.
Thanks!
I'll post some pictures when i get it done. Hopefully tomorrow.
look like pooooo! sorry dont like it! the carbonfiber cover is the way to go
Its kinda hard to tell, but it's actually the same color as the exterior of the car.
It turned out pretty good.
I masked off all the badges with masking tape then....
High Temp Primer (500 degrees)
Color Match Paint (They said it is good for 500 degrees)
High Temp Clear (500 degrees)

Actually, Heatshield done in black would match the intake and would be pretty pimp...

I may or may not do the heat shield because im planning on getting headers as soon as i can find some. but i think i will do the top of the grill.... maybe tonight?
If you're talking about the plastic fairing... use a black wrinkle paint for a NICE look.
Here are the washer fascias from my Lanos after I painted them today with Krylon Wrinkle...

what would that be with the hoses, thats tucked up against the fenderwell next to your intake in those pics?
I think Dennis was talking about the black piece that is hooked to the grill, that is in the engine bay.... He did it and it actually cleaned it up a lot... Ill try to find the pics if he doesnt see this before i post them....
Here's that picture... i guess it took me about a minute to find it off the old forum. haha
