the cans look like this
it says " Durable formula that resists temperatures up to 500°F intermittently. Ceramic Resin gives maximum heat dissipation. High gloss finish resists oil and gas and will not blister, flake, crack or peel."

If you want something to last buy DURON from a Auto Body/Paint store and apply it with a Preval Spray system.
The Spray Bomb paint is just a marketing tool.

Take a pic after you use the truck a couple times(and if there wan't a good prep job, then you'll see that stuff flack off pretty quick).
Either way, at least you fixed the over heating problem.
When you rebuild, blue is the way to go. I actually like the Ford True(dark)Blue.

This reminds me of an episode of Mythbusters. The one where they tried to use explosives to paint a room. I think this guy taped a stick of dynamite to a $5 can of spray paint. Why in the He77 would you paint your carb? and all the hoses/wires? Just out of curiosity why didnt you paint your fan belt pulley and fan blade? Let me guess...ran out of paint?
Sorry to be so hard on you but 5 min of thought and 10 min of prep wouldve made a 1000% better job.
