under the engine's temp? I'm guessing not, but I did a search...and someone posted that their engine cover was painted w/o high temp paint, and held up.

does it really matter since you already did it?

if it does, i'll just take off the cover altogether.

id just keep an eye on it after a long drive and see what it looks like.

high temp primer (2 coats), high temp paint (2 coats), high temp clearcoat (2 coats) it holds up fine.


I would recommend redoing it with high temp paint, cuz my clearcoat gets a little slick now and then after long runs in the heat.

and did not have any problems with it when I had it on the car.

Look at all the painted frame parts inches from the block... im sure they get extemely hot, probably hotter then the valve cover. I think you will be fine, but do keep an eye on it. Automotive paint is already a somewhat high-temp paint.

its been painted for about 2-3 weeks and no engine fires or melted covers so far *fingers crossed*
