JB, I looked over what the local Autozone had when I was there last night. Saw the engine paint "Low Black" good up to 500° and then there was a can of wrinkle black that was good up to 350°. I'm looking for that wrinkle finish, so...
Think I could get that using the low gloss engine paint, or should I try the wrinkle paint? In your experience what works best? My first time painting anything automotive so I'm as NOOB as it gets on this one and would like to avoid having to do it 2 or more times...Thanks

I've had mixed results with wrinkle paint. A lot depends on air and metal temperature and how you apply it. Sometimes the wrinkles will be extreme, sometimes barely there, sometimes just right. So you might practice with it on something unimportant.

On the other hand, I've always had perfect results with wrinkle powder coat. It's more trouble and costs more, but like I said, it's perfect.

First, Rustoleum can work. This is the definitive story for me. http://www.rickwrench.com/index79master.htm?http://www.rickwrench.com/50dolla...

That said, you said your shoe burns to the case. How about a thermal barrier coating? http://www.polydyn.com/headers_and_exhaust.htm These guys are local to me, so it is a tad easier. That said, the coatings rock. I have some headers on an olde race car I did about 20 years ago. It has sat up for the last ten. They still look amazing with no rust! Just only coat the case, not the ribs, or overheating will be a problem.
