Why is Duplicolor Engine Enamel 500º paint? Don't you have to use 1200º paint for valve covers? I realize they have that ("High Heat Paint") but why is what they call "Engine Enamel" 500º?

You sure you have that right?
Duplicolor engine enamel is usually 1200* from what I've seen and the 500* stuff says Caliper paint [I should know I only have 25 half empty cans of the $hit in the garage  ]

And yeah, caliper paint is 500º too, I remember 'cause I was comparing engine enamel to caliper paint. -------------------- |
