Painting firewall/frame

METH HEAD
Now I have not and am not stripping everything off the front end but I would say most of it is gone. I really just want to clean it up and paint everything. First thing I always notice when I pull the motor is the that the passenger side of the frame looks considerably worse than the driver side due to the heat from the DP. Would it be dumb to paint the frame with spray paint? And paint the DP area with high temp engine paint? Or will it look like crap no matter what? Also, Should I be able to paint the firewall with spray paint and it be glossy for a long period of time or should I wait for my friend to come shoot it who always gives me the run around but usually makes it after a month? I wouldn't mind waiting if I wasn't in any kind of a hurry but I want it painted today so I can start re-doing the wire harness and a few other things this weekend. I will just be at a stand still until it is all painted.

I would just paint frame with high temp engine paint after you clean it for the final time.

Why not spray firewall yourself with some good paint? Isn't that hard to spray and a few errors won't be end of world on firewall.

You can get GM-correct code 19 black in spray cans... base/clear.

If you have the time and have it disassembled, you can't beat POR-15 on a frame. All you need is a bunch of foam brushes, some gloves, and go to town. And, it won't chip/flake like spray paint.

alot of making the paint stick in a high heat application is prep work but there is some nice ceramic satin black paint in a can i've used that's pretty nice, just have to be careful to spray it light it's kinda thick
