    I have a spare set, Ive sanded them down and was about to spray them, but then had a thought:
    ...Get's pretty hot there right next to the engine and radiator pipes etc...

    So do I need high temp paint or will normal enamel stuff do the job?

    Alot of people using normal paints with no ill effects.

    VHT make a large range of colours of high temp paints though, so if you don't need a specific custom colour then they are there for peace of mind

    no you dont,mine are sprayed with 2 pak with no problems,you can spray them with hi temp,but will get a nicer range of colours using different paints
