I have made an air box from plastic(pvc) for my carbs. I am not going to carbon fibre wrap it because of dis-colouring so opting for spraying it
black,
I have scuffed the surface.
Will high temp alloy wheel/brake caliper VHT spray paint be allright?
I still have a can of primer grey and matt black left over

you reckon it will be alright for engine bay temps
Put it this way - if you need VHT paint to withstand the temperatures, then the PVC will be long gone! If it's hot enough to damage paint then
the PVC has no chance.
The 'glass transition temperature' (where the plastic loses structural strength) of PVC is 81C, according to a quick google search.

I wanted to 3m carbon vinyl but the box isn't square. Worried it won't wrap around the curves without folding/creasing at one end.

That looks sweet.
