Has anyone had any experience of using Techcote high temperature matt satin black paint sold in 400ml aerosols by Halfords and others for use by motorcyclist restorers as a finish for model locomotive smoke boxes? Information provided for the product claims that the finish is good for temperatures for up to 300 deg C which would seem to be quite adequate to me but feedback from other users would be most useful.

I used similar on my Rob Roy decades ago. Worked well and is still on there. I don't recall what brand it was though.
