[QUOTE="joegrizzy, post: 3923104, member: 45524"] never used it for a whole gun, but i've used high temp engine block paint in a can for touch ups plenty of time. find a ding that someone on here just used a black sharpie on? (you have NO idea how often this has happened, come on guys...) spray some engine paint in a tray, cue tip it onto scratch, hit it with the heat gun. easy. i would imagine a full gun, if prepared correctly, would look even and a nice matte. i def wouldn't worry about it getting hot, that stuff is tough. in my experience it holds up very well to dirt and won't break down with gun oils or solvents. [ATTACH type="full" alt="71Hhc+-9xJL._AC_SL1305_.jpg"]329665[/ATTACH] you can find it at lowes or auto parts stores. the BIGGEST thing with spraying is your technique. always start and finish your spray OFF your piece, so like start to the left and spray all the way to the right, past your piece, then stop. NEVER do quick short bursts. If you need to fill in specific areas that you miss, a lot of people make the mistake of bringing the can CLOSER to get like a smaller spray i guess? but this of course ruins the whole piece, for fill ins you need to hold FARTHER away and let the finest parts of the spray eventually fill in with a gradient in that area so you don't get a hard edge or even worse a buildup that leads to puddling and/or dripping. like most people think it looks bad because THEY make it look bad.
