   If the high temp paint is gloss you dont need laquer, if it dries matt but you want it to be glossy then you need to laquer. i didnt even think you would need a high temp paint for a rocker cover. How hot do the covers get?

   Well to be on the safe side you could yes but it depends if the high temp paint you have dries gloss anyway.
