I think the high temp really only matters if you're going to be running the car on the track, most of us don't get to boiling the fluid at 250 degrees and you know the car hood gets up there in these dark colors without issues.

That's too complicated for me. The paint I used required a clear. So why not use the high temp for some sort of insurance. The clear also served as a good seal on the vinyl brembo stickers. If for some reason it becomes a problem with peeling I will paint it black with G2 caliper paint.
