   Can get my hands on some Very High Temp Paint and VHT Lacquer pretty easy but is it necessary to use high temp primer aswell or will normal metal lacquer be sufficient ?

   Rocker cover doesnt get too hot, so it should be fine with normal. mine was good for a year before it started to crack.

   Depends what car you got tbh! Vtr's don't get too hot but vts's do. I think the main thing is that whatever you use don't put too much of it on, I primed n painted mine with about 7 coats trying to get a perfect finish and tbh it was awesome but it lasted bout 3month before a few bubbles appeared, so less is better lool
