Thanks all. I was wondering if the paint needed to go thru heat cycles to fully cure/harden. I clearcoated with Duplicolor engine clearcoat the black bracketry, but nothing directly on the engine/red.
I would hate to clear it on the stand and have all the red get messed up. @Darter6 is that clearcoated, or paint?
I paint my intakes with fuel resistant silver ceramic spray bombs.
Duplicolor and Rustoleum are both good brands, color fast for over 7 years now on several cars.
