Why dont I use high temperature copper head gasket spray insted of silver paint?

I dont see what greasing them would do apart from create a void like excessive copper spray as well
That copper head gasket spray is a sealant and a glue. Silver paint, when the heads are applied with it still tacky, acts as the same but without the holding power of that copper spray.

As a test, spray two pieces of scrap metal with it and clamp them together. Once dries, pry them apart and see what's left.

I wouldn't use it on something you may need to take apart again sometime in the future.
