[Shotimes] duplicolor spray painting the car

[Kenneth Epperly]

High temp only work there best when properly cured, bake at 350 for 1 hour, 
other wise they will come off. Had a set of headers on my truck that stayed 
white for over 8 years till they rotted from the inside. Baked them in the 
drying oven at work.
