Default Custom paint - under hood?

I'm got a design I want to airbrush in 2k on the rear side of the hood.

Does anyone know if this area has to be heat treated or anything special considering the engine temp?

This may sound like a stupid question since most cars have a painted under side of hood, but I want to just double check before I go spending a week on the airbrush and a lot of money on paint etc only to have t all bubble up!

So can I just paint it 2k and clear it as normal?

Don't most cars have a mesh (fiberglass?) material on the inside of the hood??

If your car has paint there now... then I would think it's ok. If it has a mesh, then the mesh is there for a reason.
