I'm going of Hammerite as any type of paint because its quite frankly a pain in the butt.

What can I use as a good high temp paint for parts that will last the hot/cold process well?

Thanks

I've used this stuff:

For many years, mainly their "wrinkle red" for Ferrari cam boxes. Here's a few pics of the process:

For most engine parts, normal aerosols will be just fine.

Hammerite does well but I'd also recommend VHT paint as this can withstand a lot more especially with items close to turbo chargers etc etc. You can also by VHT lacquer specifically for engines if you want a shine on it

I just did my pacemaker manifolds with Rust-Oleum heat resistant paint after having them blasted,
total crap, it bubbled up withing moments of starting the engine for the 1st time

I've used 2 pack car paint on the block and other areas. Sticks without issue and has held up to heat and oils etc.
