No I do not and from what I have read, IIRC is not to use a clear coat, as it will turn yellow over time due to the engine heat...
This is the high temp heat paint that Cliff has used...it gives a very good finish as you have commented on and can see in the pics...I am very satisfied with the results...

A side note, I did not even do a "heavy" color coat as I have done in the past. IMO it was not needed to get the achieved results today...

Back home from the shore, although not great weather, still good to get away....
Also would like to wish everyone a Happy Memorial Day, and to be thankful for everyone in the Armed Services, past, present and future. For without Them, our Freedom would be non-existent...

Time to get back to work, just finished painting the plenum in the open paint booth....
Took awhile for prep, used Clorox wipes (they are without bleach) and do a great job of removing grease on aluminum as mentioned before. After a number of wipe downs, I then used the Mineral Spirits for a few more additional wipe downs to make sure the surface was as clean as could be....

before....

one of my famous tape jobs....lol

first coat...

followed the same technique used on the coolant pipes, light even sprays with drying time in between, and no heavy color coat!!!

the finished product...I think it came out decent...

I kind of like the lettering painted silver, I may just leave it this way....
