Check with some of the local powder coating companies- there is a gloss back powdercoat available now from what I recall reading somewhere. it would probably cost less than that paint and be even more durable.

I agree fully! HAHAHA

Yeah that converts to $3500 Canadian, which is 5 sets of v&h, which probably sound just as good, if not better...

I don't know anything about this product and have never used it but might be worth checking into. Basically a high gloss clear for high temp applications, they list 1100F thermal stability...
