hammerite is high temp paint.. they just dont really market it as that. why do you think most people use it for their brake callipers

No problem, mines a 180 so it's a plastic cover, hence the plastic primer (after lightly sanding it down with 800 and then1200 grit wet n dry), obviously use the apropriate primer for whatever surface you're painting though.

yeah hammerite would do it, but the last one i did i used VHT as the primer, 2-3 coats of that ad the colour and then the laquer. Worked great. Was still looking bright and bubble/blemish free after 2 years lol

VHT paint is quality, just a bit more pricey.
