engine paint

[i_love_my_stang]

im looking to paint some of the brackets and stuff on my engine possibly the upper manifold as well, do i have to use the high heat paints? i've seen some people use the metallics and it looks good what have you guys used, also what red is close to laser red?

I used just plain primer, paint and clear on all my parts. Only high temp paints were on collant crossover and therm neck.

Honestly couldnt find anything too close to laser red so I instead just matched the red (alt bracket, plenum, TB) to the high temp paint shade and the rest of my painted stuff (STB, CAI, alt, etc)is a dark charcoal grey metallic that an auto paint shop mixed for me awhile back.

I think it came out pretty good and the clear makes it easy to maintain, I just use quick detail spray
