    What is the down-side if you just use regular spray paint like rustoleum?

    im pretty sure all the auto parts places mentioned carry engine paint (for high temps), ive seen it used on those cheesy 30min. car shop shows on speed channel like gearz and truck-u. they usually use dupli-color and it comes out good.

    you dont need high temp paint for your vc. it does not get hot enough to melt or peel.
