Flame Proof Coating, Flat Clear

Used this as a top coat for a drip torch, it sits close to the fire and takes heat and gas/diesel mix with zero issues, excellent product.

Painted surface continues to perform well on my aluminum intake manifold

Works as it is intended

so far so good. had to cure it to get the coats so that a scrape would not peel it off. cured to the 400 degree temp, 600 degrees is the final cure temp... the 30min cure time, the Misses was not going to allow it. the VHT ACTUALLY SANDED AND BUFFED to a glass gloss finish. when dry its scent less, not so when shooting it. This product is worth the time and money spent utilizing it.

My Project: Respraying an exhaust manifold. (Manifold surface was blasted) Products used: VHT SP118 Flat White Primer, VHT SP102 Flat Black Paint, VHT SP115 Satin Clear Coat. Review of Product: VHT SP115 Satin Clear Coat This product worked very well and left a very nice satin finish on top of VHT Flat Black Paint (VHT SP102). Product was of good quality for value. This clear coat was applied to my exhaust manifold in an outdoor area with very little wind <5mph and humidity <15%. I applied this product 24 hours after paint, starting with a very light rough coat. I waited 15 minutes, then applied a wet finish coat, waited until it appeared to be setting about 10mins and then touched up hard to get areas. I had no problem with the clear coat having runs. I allowed 7 days for dry cure, and I followed the manufacturers instruction for curing the paint when on the vehicle. Has been 2 weeks and no sign of the paint burning off. I have driven the vehicle 750-1000 miles during this time. Had half can leftover. Manifold was hung and suspended during paint.

I bought this clear high temp paint not knowing what to expect but I am very pleased with it thus far. I used it on a pressure washer that I restored for a friend and unexpectedly he had to pick the pressure washer up the same day I painted it. I was expecting the heat to trash the paint but it didn't. The paint held up even though it had no time to cure. Very surprised indeed. I've painted a lot and VHT is a good choice when you have parts that get exposed to heat. Since that time I've used it on my Honda Goldwing valve covers and no peeling or wrinkles so I would say that it's a very good product for the money.

Excellent protective coating for new aluminum castings

Didn't work for me... Bought two cans each of primer, color coat, and satin clear so cost more than expected. Painted two long (aftermarket) Harley heat shields, that house the baffles so they get hot. Followed the instructions to a tee and had a good looking paint job before curing. VHT is vague about how long to wait before curing, only saying "completely dry." Well, is that 30 minutes or 3 days?? I had to use my BBQ to cure the long tubes and was going to do half, spin them and half again. Waited 24 hours after painting to cure (guessing that's what they meant by "completely dry"). Did the first phase at 250 degrees and but the paint got wet again. Then trying to spin them with pot holders in my BBQ and prop the lid, I completely ruined the paint job. Also, as it was getting wet and sticky again, I noticed some small bumps, like it was out-gassing with the heat, so not smooth. I will take the blame for knocking my shields, but needed more information about them going soft/wet again so I could have prepared better with metal hooks for handling. But, the little pimples on the surface were not my fault. Found a ceramic coater who will do the job for $200 - I wish I had started there.
