Default What paint to use
Wanting to paint my fuel rail covers gloss black. I know the paint has to be high temp resistant. What would be the best paint for the job? What temp. rating would be sufficient? Thank you.

make sure you scuff them up and use plastic adhesive promoter. I didn't use enough and mine flaked off. I do run headers though.

When you say scuff them up? You sand them with some sand paper?
Thanks for your reply.

you can also use a scotchbrite pad from 3M to get into the corners, dips or valleys.
