The invention discloses a high temperature-resistant step-cured epoxy paint and an application method of the paint. The high temperature-resistant step-cured epoxy paint is obtained by mixing ingredient A, ingredient B and ingredient C in A certain proportion, wherein the ingredient A is an epoxy resin ingredient and comprises E-20 bisphenol A epoxy resin, E-51 bisphenol A epoxy resin, F-51 phenolic aldehyde epoxy resin, carboxylate-terminated nitrile butadiene rubber modified tetraglycidylamine type epoxy resin, aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, fumed silica, a wetting dispersant, and a coupling agent; the ingredient B is a first curing agent ingredient and comprises an YH-82 epoxy curing agent, a C-1041 anacardol epoxy resin curing agent, DMP-30, fumed silica, and aluminum nitride; and the ingredient C is a second curing agent ingredient and comprises hexahydrophthalic anhydride, fumed silica, and aluminum nitride. The high temperature-resistant step-cured epoxy paint disclosed by the invention can be pre-cured at low temperature, does not form an unsmooth paint film, is cured at a high temperature, and remains the advantages of high strength and good adhesive force of the paint film which is cured at a high temperature.
