most durable under hood finish? I want to get some color under my hood and am considering powder coating, painting and ceramic coating. I want to get the valve covers, coil brackets, and water pump all done in the same color. What is the most durable finish?
The finish doesn't have to be polished or shiny... a rougher look would be fine but I still want a bright red. I hear powder coating is out because the water pump can't be baked at 400 degrees because the bearings will go out. Any suggestions?
Thanks, -Dave

discount auto parts or autozone high temp ceramic paint. The ceramic paint ends up looking real smooth on the final coat and wont cost you an arm, a leg and probably a left nut lol jk I mean it sounds like you want it to look real nice so that would be out of the question, but if it was me...autozone does the job 
post up when u find whats best for those peices paint wise. Ps- me and my friend painted our valve covers and a few over peices with actual car paint/clear. they came out AWESOME. But we did it ourselves in the backyard so it was 100% picky perfect but from a foot away or installed in the engine bay, they looked pimp
