engine compartment V strut brace

[Scottie]

I want to plastidip my strut brace . Plastidip will remain flexible up to 93c
do you think it will get hotter than that in the engine compartment???

If your sitting after driving hard in the summer (like summer 06) then yeah but winter no

I would think that it could get hotter than that... :popcorn:

Hot enough to pop :popcorn: on it?

There'll be localised hotspots in the engine bay, ie around the exhaust manifold, but I really doubt you'll find temps rising to 93C on the strut brace.

Before you coat it why not do a little spirited driving then let it sit for 10-15 mins to allow the ambient temperature in the engine bay to rise, then pop a digital thermometer onto the brace to see what it's sitting at. ;)
