i think high heat paint is over rated, it doesn't have the shine to it like normal paint and never seems to hold up either, i painted mine flip flop to match my wheels and interior, did it with normal paint, just used paint stripper to remove the rubber coating, then primed it with color changing primer(non high heat) then painted and cleared. i baked mine on though, put the valve cover back on the engine and fired it up for 5-10 minutes, the paint started smoking pretty bad then i shut it off and let it cool, then cranked it up again 30-1hr later and it has lasted ever since
