I think that Ken Epperly said something about 350
degrees for an hour. There might be instructions on
the can.
FWIW, I had awesome luck using VHT caliper paint on my
brake calipers. Neither brake fluid of brake cleaner
ever ate through the paint. It might be something to
look into. They do have an aluminum/silver color.
As for me, I'm pretty much sold on powdercoating now.
I wish I could powdercoat my engine bay. =)
