Engine bay paint?
What is the best (black) paint to use in the engine bay? I dont want gloss, semi or flat is a must, but needs to be heat, chemical and mildly impact resistant. Anybody have a preferred type/brand? Thanks!

I just used Rustolium satin black. It seems to be holding up OK. Mine isn't a daily driver though. Some POR15 first might be a good idea.

any paint will be resistant enough to heat. You can spray a motor with normal paint.
