i'm going to start in my engine bay and begin cleaning up a little bit soon... by this i mean, i'm gonna take parts off the car (mounting brackets, plates, etc. and eventually suspension arms etc.), sand blast all the corrosion off of them and re spray them. my question is, will a regualr (say Krylon) pain hold up to the temperatures in the engine bay of an FD or do i need to go out and start buying a few bottles of high temp engine spray-paint?

 

I'd use the high temp engine spray paint. I've painted most everything under the hood of my FC, and that stuff holds up just fine. I just painted most of the brackets with the aluminum-color high temp paint - looks like new parts.
