Default Krinkle paint on engine parts

Does anyone have any experience with VHT krinkle. I painted a couple of small parts with it and like the look with my polished aluminum parts. Question is how will it hold up over time. Any one have any recommendations or comments before I proceed to paint the some parts that are harder to get to?
Thanks for the help

I did the fuel dampeners on my car and one customers car after he thought it looked good. So far it's held up great but it has only been 1.5 years.

I used it earlier this year on a Miata engine I built (cam cover only). Looked really good in red. However, when I torqued down the cam cover bolts, there was some slight chipping of the paint where the shoulder of the bolt contacted the cam cover bosses. Maybe if I would have baked the finish, it wouldn't have done that...

Best of luck!

Looks good, tough paint, but hard to keep clean. Read and follow the directions!
