I found some high temperature black paint for my restoration and it's staying on pretty good - so far !!!
This picture also shows that the black paint in the engine compartment was "glossier" then most people think too !!!

Sent an email to POR15 with some questions, including a black top coat for that heat stove. No response yet.
