Is PERMATEC the only Copper Spray most use? Are there others that are better?

Does it need to be better? Great stuff. A bear to get off when replacing a head gasket. The only easy copper to remove is a copper based anti-seize, but I'll stick with the Permatex stuff. The way "A"s tend to seap, the sticky stuff is better.

Permatex

K&W Copper Coat spay is the original but any copper base or aluminum base spray paint will do the trick. I use the old "poor mans chrome" silver spray paint myself. Several companies make a gasket remover spray that will take the stuff off. It is basically just paint stripper in a spray can.

Some use regular enamel spray paint with good results.
