VHT high temp paint???

Any of you use this? Dose it work or is it snake oil? Looking at for hard pipes, cam cover, exc.

I used it for heat shields.. looks good, doesn't fade. get the 1200* tho and hit it with a few coats.

I used something like that (may not be the same brand), but it was good for 2K degrees F and was for header wrap. It's still on the header wrap, but I did put a light coating on the down pipe prior to wrapping, that shit was flaking off after the first run...

it should be good for anything in your engine bay except exhaust parts...even jet hot stuff wears off on headers.

Ummm...ceramic coatings (properly applied) do not "wear off"
Ever...

i used it on my cam covers and it looks great 4+ years later.

Yep that is what i am looking for to use it on. engine parts but not exhaust. ceramic coatings, powder coating just cost to much, for me right now, and if this looks good i can run a rattel can

Autozone sells a 2000 degree paint that has ceramic in it. It is currently on my down pipe and is still effective.

Prepping the parts right makes all the difference, as well as doing a few coats.

i m painted my heat sheilds and some of my charge pipes with bbQ grill paint for duplicolor said it last up to 1200F been on for about 6 months no chipping cracking or pealing looks just like the day i sprayed it. I really liked the fact it didn't call for high temp primer

 

[Ckanderson]

yes, ceramic COATINGS shouldent ever wear off.

i have NEVER had good luck with high temp paints on headers or downpipes.

do it right, or dont do it at all.

see thats what its all about, prepping your work first. I've had no trouble at all using this stuff.
