   have been looking into doing this to my car, but it seems alot of people disapprove of the high temp paint, so was just wondering what paint people have used or would use.
   
   thanks.

   hi mate, craig was telling me last night he just used normal paint.
   just make sure you primer it first and make sure it's totally cold before you start.
   
   give it lots of time to dry too

   Go to halfords and buy some primer, paint and laquer. Preferably the same colour as car.
