First off, sorry if it's in the wrong section, but it is on the engine, and as such found it to be an engine mod. If it's Interior / Exterior, please send it that way.

Anyway, I just painted my battery cover, fusebox cover, and the little "HOT" hand on the heat sheld. The paint says it's good for 900*F, or like 450*C. Something like that. I just drove the shitzen out of the car after I gave it overnight to dry to the touch. THe paint on the heatshield looks a little darker, but not as burnt as was the other crap I put on before. Will it continue to darken, or is 900*F a good temp paint to use? I don't assume the heat shield will get quite THAT hot, but I did notice it darken a bit. Any ideas?

 

Well, it's starting to really turn black now, so I guess either the paint was lying, or I didn't wait long enough for it to dry... Now I'm back to square one!
