I learned myself-- always use high temp paint. I painted the air cleaner I used to have with normal high quality paint, and it bubbled and cracked and made a big mess. I guess it depends on how hot the part gets though, if it is directly attached to the engine definitely use high temp paint. Is it a part you could grab on to comfortably after running the engine? If so you may be able to get by with normal paint. If you use normal paint, do use a high temp primer that is compatible with your paint.

Personally I would use the high temp paint just because I have had to re-do some paint jobs myself where I didn't use it.

Good luck whichever way you decide to go.

Hey guys, I got a question about high temp paints.
Truck is a 94 4.0L SC, in Electric Currant Red.
I want to paint some miscellaneous underhood pieces, preferably body color (throttle cable bracket, etc.). I was wondering if anybody knows at what point high temp paint is necessary. I can get the dupli-color stuff at Auto Zone, I know it isn't the best but for the brackets and such I think it would work fine. Anyway, obviously I can't get high temp stuff in that color. So if it's necessary, maybe would it work if I used a high-temp primer or other base coat, or maybe a high temp clear coat over it, or maybe both?? Or will I need to select some generic color that is available in high-temp??....
