plastic covers etc

will regular spray paint be ok on the plastic parts of the engine eg, cover and caps etc, if why and wot shud i use instead,
and is it true engines perform better cold?
thnx

Yes engines perform better cold (JEREMY CLARKSON SAYS SO! lol) i dont know what paint though mate sorry.

Okay well your going to need some heat resitant paint otherwise it wont be any good when the engine heats up, and yes the more cold air you get into your engine the better it will run.

something to do with cold air being less/ more dense so something results in something.

glad to be of help

 

[Rojer]

Yer when its colder its more dense so you get more.

 

[polishdon@hotmail.com]

colder air is denser so you have a greater amount of oxygen getting into ur engine, resulting in better performance

cheers much ppl, still need the paint sit. resolved i have used normal spray paint
i dont think the oil filler cap or coolant over flow heat up but the plastic cover for the engine does but i dont think it will heat enough to cause a problem
