they dont actually say anything about the paint. I've been talking with a local guy who does this paint all the time though and its a combination of the heat and durability that makes it not particularly good for auto use. Mailboxes arent getting pelted with dirt and dust and stuff and getting washed on a weekly basis.

well i'm sure they say the paint is not for automotive use either, but think about it, that clear coat is made to be painted on brass mail boxes, over the rust paint, and that sits in the elements 24/7 and never really gets washed/waxed, ect....so i see no reason why it would'nt work on a car, they're just stating their disclamer so nobody sues them when they paint their car with it and then realize that it's not for cars.. but the clear coat is very durable, just like the paint.
