[QUOTE="THATpurpleKUSH, post: 8644755, member: 615398"] I ran a multimillion dollar paint business for 3 years, so I am very confident in what I am saying. Think about it, paint is just a coating that sits on top of the surface of a substrate. It's designed to molecularly bond to the surface of that substrate, obviously if the substrate is porous then the coating will soak in deeper than just the surface. The aluminum itself is not being altered in any way that would compromise its physical or molecular properties (melting point, boiling point, structural rigidity etc.) It is conceivable that a coating could be applied in an amount thick enough to act as an insulator but we are talking about a coating of paint that is only a few mils thick. There are high heat paints available for bbq grills and various car parts but they are unnecessary. Rustoleum spray paints like Painter's Touch 2x and Universal will handle surfaces up to 200deg F. If your amp is running that hot you have major problems. [/QUOTE]
