Header paint on small parts and bake it on? I'm wondering if it might work as a poor boy cerakote solution on some small guitar parts.

I had better luck using BBQ Grill Paint on headers than I did with VHT.  I can't recall if it was the Krylon or Rustoleum brand, but I baked it on and after five year I could not even bead blast the stuff off those headers.

VHT chassis paint is amazing stuff, it's easy to spray and incredibly tough.

Unless you are worried about high temps, epoxy is the way to go.

I just used a few cans painting my valve covers and intake manifold.  Looks good, and seems very durable.

Used it before on a winch, baked on.  Over six months now and no flaking or chipping whatsoever.

I also used it on a form 1 9mm suppressor, baked on, and it looks good.

Here's the engine:

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

I've used rustoleum bbq paint on a pit and some stacks with lackluster results. I've yet to try the Krylon version but have read that it's leaps and bounds ahead of rustoleum.

I was reading up on the chassis paint and it looks promising.

I've also read that appliance enamel baked for a couple hours at 170 degrees works well.

I used some on my truck exhaust tips. Prepped everything good, worked clean, baked per instructions and they are peeling in under a year. Gonna have my buddy powder coat em.
