Painting engine cover/ valve cover

Hey guys i need get some feedback on painting this.

The issue is not about the paint, but i'm wondering if anyone used high temp paint or just regular paint. How has it lasted?

Also any pointers in painting it?
did you guys sand it down as well?

Does anyone know where i can find a high temp blue paint as well?

I would just get it powdercoated, dude. I painted my old one and didn't like how it came out that much. I used a hi-temp paint and it came out alright, it didn't fade in the 8 months I had it installed.

I can PM you the guy who did my paintwork recently, if you like. He's in TSX but it's worth paying the shipping.
