Buying advice

When choosing high temperature paint, consider the maximum temperature your part will reach (e.g., engine, exhaust, brakes). Look for paints with corrosion and chemical resistance if applicable. Preparation like sanding and cleaning is crucial for adhesion. Curing often requires heat cycling, so follow instructions carefully.
