[QUOTE="stutaeng, post: 27292, member: 6175"] Also, this video shows an easy way to do it: [MEDIA=youtube]syyJEaxHEck[/MEDIA] That's basically what I did. [USER=9438]@ORVietVet[/USER] The technical data sheets for the regular oil-alkyd stuff sold everywhere shows the temperature rating of 200F.

I use VHT high temperature paint on transmission cases and I would agree. I recently painted an air compressor head I rebuilt with Rustoleum high temperature paint, and it too seemed kinda fragile. But that compressor head does get really hot. It was this one: [URL]https://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/auto/specialty-paints/600-degree-engine-enamel[/URL] [/QUOTE]
