does it have to be chemical resistance or high temp?
i asked around but wanted to hear more from different ppl.

problem with painting on white is when clearcoat is applied, looks like "piss".
thinking of getting color matched single stage paint doesnt require clearcoat.

i am talking about rattle can, not spray gun.

ideas??

I don't think it needs to be high-temp ... but it seems to me the real problem would be getting it scrupulously clean and warm enough to paint - and I wouldn't bother with clearcoat - just paint it.
