Default Engine Paint

Whats a good type of paint to use in the engine compartment. I want to make things look a little better by painting brackets and other odds and ends. I know that some of these things can get very hot so I want to use a good paint.

All sugestions welcome.

Chris

Any of the 'Dupi-color' black or flat black engine enamals will give you a nice shade and they are good to 350 degrees. :chevy

I like 'semi-flat' black for many brackets etc under hood. I like the 'Rust Tough' brand sold at Auto Zone and many other auto parts stores.
