what makes you think that? i have never used "high temp" paints on any of the many valve covers i painted and never had any single problem. they definetly dont melt lol, especially with being turbocharged as well.

I believe he used oil-based paint, not normal spray paint.

i used model car paint (enamel paint), its oil based, so if it ever did get hot it would melt.
