Thanks,

So far it is holding up great.

I poof-canned them in the driveway and last time I had the wheels off they still looked good. 162,000 miles and counting. Im just finishing up the drums on the COE and plan on doing the same thing, I may use a high heat paint this time. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 442 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 442 | Ive been using Duplicolor high temp engine paint on some small parts, such as linkages, radiator shell etc. the black paint comes in various degrees of gloss, and goes on nice and smooth, I can get good mileage from one can, costs about $6 a can. Will probably do my backing plate, perhaps the front end parts(tie rods, axle) with the Duplicolor when the time comes.
