What spray paint to use? - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Paul Workman · 08-30-2009

Decided to spray my cam covers etc. myself (have done some paint gun time in a past life, but been a good while ago). What brand of paint and clear coat should I be looking at? Of course, we're concerned about yellowing and the heat, etc, etc. I'm not familiar with Summit Racing's offerings at all. Any experience with any of those paints??

TIA,

Paul.

PS:

I should have mentioned too that I'm considering using a gloss black with red lettering for the cam covers, but leaving the plenum in BMW wheel silver; a two-tone scheme. So, BLACK is the center of my question, I suppose. But, who knows what the future might bring. So, any info on any paint/color is welcome!

Thanks again.
