2K car paint is better,

CrOwSoN15

Really? I didn't think 2k would be that good at withstanding heat.

check the small print on the back of cans, they tell you the limits of heat they will withstand. im sure normal car spraypaint has quite a high temperature threshold once dried .
i did my cosworth rocker cover in normal spray paint, lasted 2 years no problem.
