Hi
 
I used this and had no problems at all. Used nitromoors to strip the cam cover and then spayed it directly on (No primer). I used a number of thin coats rather than one thick one.

Aren't you supposed to bake it for a while? That's what a friend did.... while his wife was away

I used VHT paint ,supplied by Frost, and didn't have a problem . Although I did bake it in the oven.
I did use another VHT painton an exhaust manifold on another car which gave off fumes for a short while, but soon went.

I slapped mine back on with no problems that I can remember (If it did soften at first, I didn't notice - it's ok now a year or so on).

Main thing is not to get it on the baking tray!

i think you should heat the cover before painting so the metal is expanded. if you paint when cold when it heats up the paint will stretch and possibly crack...
