If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area you'r SOL (not to be confused
with Scions Of Lucas ^). The high temperature paints
have been "banned" in this area because of the polluting
nature of their solvents and propellants. It is still
available in some of the outlying and rural counties, however.
You might go to a hardware store and ask for "barbeque" paint,
although I doubt you'll be able to get it in "glossy."
