painting a tappet cover and cam belt cover

[2L_16Valve]

want to paint my xe's tappet cover and cam belt cover, any special paint or tequniques that i need?

Also what colours would be nice?

[EvanTate]

Use sprayon engine enamel for both and sprayon plastic primer for the belt cover.

Silver + red or silver + black.

OPC Blu also works

its an alliminium cam cover. Maybe i must do it same colour as diablos?

[EvanTate]

It all depends on the colour scheme of the car as a whole. I personally am planning to spray my motor matt black and red, but then it's harder to spt an oil leak.
