Don't feel bad. I had a similar experience not long ago. It wasn't high heat paint but it was rustoleum. I too followed the instruction on the can and ran into the same problems as you. The paint was dry to the touch after several days, but gummy underneath. I think rustoleum changed their formulas and its now junk paint. I won't buy any more. I switched to another brand and all is good now.
