Aluminum intake clear coat?

They make clear coats that don't have to be baked in the oven. My oven was really stinky for quite a while. Didn't realize what I had bought.

You're right. I use a couple of the air dry formulations for stuff I polish / buff. Putting them under excessive heat is not a good idea though or it will burn and discolor. I guess you found that out.
What were you trying to do there?
