painting engine bay
How hot is the valve cover? If i use wrinkle paint that is rated at 350 degrees, and then engine enamel on top of that (rated at 500 degreees F), will that withstand the heat? And also, i if paint other parts that are rusted with the engine enamel, should i get rid of the rsut first?

wrinkle paint should do you for the valve cover, I don't see why ya would want to use both, I would just strip the oem wrinkle paint crap off and use the engine enamal, probably look a little better.
What parts are rusted? In most cases it is probably not a bad Idea to get rid of the rust first.

I think you should be ok to paint it, worst case senario you have to paint it for something else, but most wrinkle paint is made for valve covers. as for the heat heat shield and what not...you shouldn't paint it you should go find some headers and just get rid of that crap :-p, but if ya wanna paint it go for it! Then about the thing that is rusted to the brake master cylinder...what year integra do you have, and is it a five speed or an automatic?
