Painting valve cover

[Papa Rad17]

I have to take off the valve cover to replace my to timing belt tensioner next week and want to paint it while it's off. I VHT caliper paint that says it's rated for 900 degrees. Will this work or do I need to get a different stuff? If so what? It must be red. (this is for a 2.2 btw)

Yes. It will work.

I want it red to match the calipers and lighting theme i have. iv seen a lot of pics of it and really like it.

If I where you, I would buy another one at a junkyard or on eBay, and get it powdercoated, but that usually takes a lot of time, pending on how busy the shop is.

VHT paint will be fine. You really only need it to be rated to 500* but anything higher isn't going to hurt it
