thanks..gw

Possibly the same for AD heaters? Stuff is contagious (I think it contains silicone), so keep it away from your regular spray area.

I got mine at the local Lowes store. This was as close to my original heater paint I could find. Matched it to the over spray on the inside of the heater box.
