Youdon't even need the 'extreme heat' calliper paint. Hamerite works just as well as is so much cheaper :) . One tins will easilly paint all callipers and drums

I agree - I used silver hamerte paint on stuff on me rear drums and calipers. Just be v careful you dsont apply it to moving parts etc...

Smoothrite is what I've used on about 5 different cars, On "X" I painted the G/box, block and head and it still looks as good as new. Lasted far longer than the caliper laquer I used before.

did the heat off the head not blister it?

Did you do the rocker cover?
