The same OD 2430 was used on both the body and the engine.

Willys used the standard 2430 OD on the chassis and drivetrain. Hi temp paints were not used. The only area Hi temp would be needed for a resto that will get driven a lot is the exhaust/intake and the flange attachment area. The use of hi temps would be your personal preference. The current Gillespie AJP Late WWII OD or Gillespie 23070 are a semi-gloss non-hi temp paint and can not be expected to last in the above mentioned areas.
