FAQs

What is VHT paint?

VHT stands for Very High Temperature. This type of paint is specifically formulated to withstand extreme heat conditions, making it suitable for automotive parts like exhaust systems and engines.

Can I use this paint on plastic parts?

This paint is engineered for metal surfaces and high-heat applications. It is not recommended for use on plastic parts.

How long does it take to fully cure?

The paint should be touch dry in 10-20 minutes, but it requires a full 24 hours to cure completely. Avoid exposing the treated parts to extreme conditions until fully cured.

Can I paint over existing rust?

No, the surface must be free from rust, grease, and dirt for optimal adhesion and performance. Remove any rust and prime if necessary before applying the VHT paint.

What is the operating temperature range for this paint?

Autotek VHT paint is designed to withstand temperatures exceeding 500°C.

Is this paint suitable for indoor use?

No, this product must only be used outdoors or in a well-ventilated area due to the nature of its solvents and application.

How should I clean the painted surface after it has cured?

Once fully cured, the surface can be cleaned with mild automotive cleaners. Avoid using harsh abrasives that could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is sputtering or uneven.

Ensure the aerosol can is shaken adequately (at least 2 minutes) and held at the correct distance (15-25cm). Clear the nozzle by spraying upside down after use.

Poor adhesion or peeling.

Verify the surface was properly cleaned, dried, and free of contaminants like grease or rust before application. Ensure optimal temperature conditions were met.

Nozzle is clogged.

Shake the can vigorously and try spraying again. If still clogged, carefully try to clear the nozzle with a fine pin or replace the can. Always spray upside down after use to prevent this.

Paint remains tacky after 24 hours.

This could be due to application in temperatures outside the recommended range (15°C-25°C) or applying coats too thickly. Ensure proper ventilation and wait longer in cooler conditions.
