Default Paint to use for Valve Covers/Coil Brackets?
First off, I tried a search but nothing really showed up for what I was looking for.

I've got the top end pulled off for headgasket/cam swap and decided to do some long delayed painting. I'm going to paint my valve covers black with white coil brackets and fuel rail.

I was wondering if I need to use engine enamel here. I imagine the fuel rail and brackets don't get hot enough to warrant it, but what about the valve covers?

Thanks in advance!

Ive had good luck with VHT products. What color are you wanting to go with? Their flameproof line has held up great on my exhaust.
