Not exactly breaking news but here it is.

I received an email from Jeff Hirsch with Bill Hirsch Auto Parts. They no longer sell their high temp engine enamel in aerosol cans. It's available in quart cans only.

He goes on to say that it can be painted with a brush or applied with any type of sprayer. He recommends thinning with 10% xylene when used in a sprayer.

I have used their engine paint many times for difficult to find colors like Cadillac blue and Olds silver/green and it is a top quality product. Generally I use locally available Duplicolor or other readily available engine paints in aerosol cans for more common engines with equally good results.

They do carry Chevrolet stovebolt grey.
