   Wanting to paint my cam covers on my GTi and need to know what sort of paint. I'm guessing high-temp but I am a paint noob. Also can you get high temp primer?
   
   Cheers

   Same ^^
   
   Sprayed mine in the new focus rs green...!
   
   Make sure you mask off underneath where the seals are etc.. dont want paint flaking in there!

   ye, just remember 95% of a good spray job is in the prep work
