Black Coating for Copper Bus

I am looking for a black, high temperature paint [affil links] to be used to increase the emissivity of copper bus bar. We used in the past, a product called Magna-Coat, Black, CP-211 from a company named Magnus. They are apparently out of business. Can anyone suggest a substitute for this product?

Thanks,

Hi, George. Please search the site for "black emissivity" and you will find a number of threads about high emissivity black paints and coatings. Good luck.

Regards,
