    I can't seem to find the following paints in aerosol cans:

    Red paint for my 71 GS engine

    Clear semi-gloss or satin hi-temp paint (NOT FULL GLOSS)

    Any ideas guys? :Do No:

    Dupli Color DH-1608 Red

    Sold in the Zone, and other auto parts stores - good to 1200*

    There is a clear that goes with it, so if you want to shine the valve covers...

    Thanks Adam. You say they do have a satin hi-temp clear too?

    Possibly....I don't know that for sure....but the Red is a satin finish.

    The semi/clear satin is for my ram air cleaner I am restoring. I need to spray the fiberglass parts as they get very dull after sanding. I am not sure if I should just use regular satin clear or not. I really don't want to redo the whole thing again (lots of work!)

    ahhh...

    Do you think you need a hi-temp clear for that area?

    Not sure if I do, but I was reading Steven Dove's book where he restored one, and that's what he used. I guess if the air cleaner gets hot enough to hurt regular paint, I have some issues don't I? :laugh:

    I've used spray bombs on my air cleaner assemblies (the metal part) and nothing ever happens. I usually buy the DupliColor brand stuff though. None of the hi temp stuff unless I'm painting the engine itself.

    Derek,
    I will be talking to a paint jobber tomorrow on a few other things and I will see what they know of for a satin clear in aerosol.
