[Shotimes] duplicolor spray painting the car

[Ron Porter]

My caliper paint method involves oil-based polyurethane (not high temp).
Once it bakes in after a day or two, it holds up very well, and is
unaffected by heat. Even after inadvertent brake fluid drippings, it does
not affect it.

Paul,

I have used standard spray paint from a can underhood for decades, and 
never had it go bad from heat.  Only place you really need high heat 
paint is on the engine.  I have even painted starters and other parts 
that get very near exhaust with regular paint and it sticks and looks 
good for years.  I don't think high temp paints are any more resistant 
to solvents than other paints. 

Can't hurt to use the high temp stuff, but that really limits your 
choice of colors.
