wrt to the bonnet wire.

Mine has discoulured I guess due to the heat from the manifold.

I am assuming if I use normal satin car paint this will happen again.

Anyone used high temperature paint on this grille or do you think if I spray it up it will hold the heat?

I used just ordinary satin black paint on my bonnet mesh, and you should see the heat that comes out of mine and I done it back in September and I still looks like new :)

I don't have the metal slatted panel under it neither, just the wire grills in the bonnet so you can see straight in and let's the heat out quicker too :)
