Engine brackets and pulleys paint?

[Puzbie]

Simple question:  Do I need to use high temperature paint for the belt pulleys and brackets for the alternator, A/C etc?    I am assuming not, but wanted to check with the experts first

By no means an "expert", but it's widely accepted that these parts were dipped in the cheapest enamel available.

Ive always used a low gloss black engine enamel

Thanks... I think I am going to pick up some Dupli-color engine paint tomorrow

I drop my pulleys and brackets off at the powder-coater in town on the way to work  and sometimes he has them done on my way home.

I used black engine enamel paint also. Just remember that prep is the key.

Some guy in the local Mopar club said that the factory "dipped" parts like these. The procedure isn't exactly clear but was something like a large vat with water with a thin film of paint resting on top of the water. The part was slowly dunked into the vat and pulled back out. This allowed for zero overspray. It seems strange to me. I've never tried it but it does sound interesting.
