and i would have to say that duplicolor high heat engine paint is the best...... i used gloss black, and i think it looks sick.... and it apears to be like teflon, nothing sticks to it and it aint look like its gonna peel, ever.....


i also used the engine paint to paint my calipers, then painted over that with my dupli color car matching paint.... seems to be holding up just fine
