Paint Cam Sensors - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hiya, I'm replacing all of the cam sensors because I had two go on me in the last couple months. I want to avoid corrosion and rust like the original ones. Which paint would you recommend for these? Do they get pretty hot?

I have Rust Check Rust paint in flat grey and then VHT High Temp Paint in grey also.
Thanks fellas/ladies!

Your wanting to paint the sensors, or the SOLENOIDS?

Any paint.

Sorry, my fault for not stating the solenoid, yes.

I ended up using the flat grey Rust Paint, turned out great. Rid of that pesky P000A code, and put of limp now too!

Here is new next to old:

I think black or body color would look good too.
