It can be done. Same prep process as a correctly applied caliper paint. Operative word "prep"

Ya, I've painted a lot of things and know it will not turn out good if you are tedious with prep work. Anyone got pics?

Looks pretty good! My valve covers are red but I'll probably paint it black, seems like that would be to much red
