Default if you use folia-tec or g2, no. if you use spray paint, or high temp paint

that isn't in a kit, yes. well actually you don't need it, but IMHO it would look better with a couple clear coats over it.

if you use folia-tec or g2 and put a decal on top, you need high-temp clear coat as well.

Regular paint is probably going to work just fine. They don't get THAT hot. High heat paint can't hurt though. Why clear coat? Why not just the colour you want and forget the clear coat?

Cheers,

Default On my last car I used duplicolor high temp engine paint. When I sold it a little over a year later

they still looked great! I spent 4.50 on the paint.
