If your just gonna to touch it up that would work, but if your gonna strip off all the old paint and then paint it, I would guess it would take 15-20 cans, and at $4 a can, that would be $80. I bought a gallon of AC orange at tractor supply, the paint, thinner, and everything was on 72 dollars and it turned out great! I shot it with a paint gun and couldn't be any happier with it. Actually, didn't have much of that gallon left when I was done, as you waist about 75% when you are painting 1.5 tubes.

I have found that in order for High temp engine paint to work it needs to be heat cured like an engine would do normally. I use a Heat lamp and or Heat guns to cure it. It holds up well when you do it otherwise it does not last.
