Same again, I used it on both, Although (and I hate to mention the words here) a mate of mine has a 400 horse cavaliar turbo, and his rocker cover, which gets very hot, is painted with ordinary 2k, in the same colour as the car!

2k as used by the pros, would be the best for both the engine and rocker cover
