Do you need high heat paint on motor side covers and starter
Krylon Dull Aluminum seems to be the best match but it's not rated for high heat is it?  Also questioning this because i don't know if i need to use high heat primer as well on these parts?

What about on the engine cases them selves?  Also, do you need to use a self etching primer on covers and/ or engine cases?
