After adding an oil temp sensor to our ZF and running it hard for a 400-mile trip, I can assure you the ZF cases will not exceed 200 degrees F unless you plan on running Daytona or the NASCAR circuit. With our throughtly modified engine, it took the lube nearly 3 hours at 80-100 mph to climb to 180F. degrees. Most paints will take 200F easily, with short excursions to 250F. Note that any paint covering bare metal is an insulator, so if competition is in the back of your mind, leave the cases glass-beaded.
