I needed to paint a .22 SS barrel dull black, no baking involved, and I wanted something other than grill paint which just isn't as tough as I wanted, it flakes too easy. So instead of getting the engine block paint (resistant to heat, fuel and oil) I got the fuel, oil and chemical resistant brake caliper and disc paint for $1 more. It will do everything the engine block paint would do but it also has ceramic in it and looks a lot like Cerakote with multiple thin coats.
This is a good alternative to other coatings like KG, etc., when you can't or don't want to bake it and can't or don't want to have it finished properly. I didn't want to cook my new Kidd receiver or integral suppressor assembly at 350deg. for 1 hour, though it would probably have been okay. When I got it home and used it though, I was really impressed for a spray paint! It's why I'm bothering writing about it.
This stuff is tough! I got some on my thumb and it had only been a minute or so but at first I didn't think it was coming off! It doesn't flake or chip easy and seems to be somewhat flexible, and adhesion and abrasion resistance are top notch. This stuff is great for a cheap, but durable black, and would also be amazing for use on E-tools, etc.
I only saw three different blacks, gloss, semi-gloss and low gloss, and there was gloss red. Not sure what other colors it may come in, but since it's for brakes I doubt many. It would be great if they made a camo line with this formula, it really would. It would take Krylon'ing a rifle to a whole different level.
