Duplicolor METALCAST PAINT

has any one used this stuff yet?...i have pre tested in on a screw drive and a box and i am really impressed with the colour that it finished with but i am still wondering if that colour will be changed when heat is aplied...the can boasts that it is heat resistant but i an not sure if that is saying that you could paint a engine component that is only exposed to heat or if it can be applied to things like mainfolds, blocks, valve covers and other VERY hot items.....

i saw it done at performance improvments on a demo engine they have in the store but that engine was never run so i dont know what to think....

please let me know if any of you have tried this stuff.....if i end up putting it on and it mess up then i will probably scrap it off with a wire brush and have the cover powder coated....

any ways any info would be greatfully apreciated...
