It's called Rust-Oleum Specialty High Heat Ultra (spray paint can).

Have ya read the label?

Typically, no. A clear coat will however add another layer of protection... your call.

Yea I read it, but it didnt say nothing about clear coating. It crossed my mind as I was putting on the second coat. Like I said I know nothing about painting, this is my first time. Thanks for the quick advice guys!! Ill post pics of how it turns out.

From: Athens, GA...it rocks.

MOST clear coat (even the high temp stuff) will bubble off and pull some layers of the paint beneath with it at higher temps. I'd say to just hit it with the rustoleum high temp paint and call it done.
