You don't need high temp paint on anything other than block or exhaust. Ever feel the hood of a black car on a hot sunny summer day? Your engine compartment doesn't get any hotter than that.

the engine bay stickers are a bit redundant and unneeded, but other than that it looks good

if you do a satin black on the hinges it will turn grey over time. get some semi-gloss and it should hold up fine. looks good though. but we get the point its a z28, lol

satin and semi gloss lok the same, at least out of a rattle can they do. spray them side by side and you can hardly tell a difference.

When u painted your berger panel, did u tape off the CAMARO before u painted, because im painting mine and was trying to figure out a way to leave the camaro letters the same color as the car?
