Product Information
Full details
This Raptor Flameproof Aerosol in Red is designed for users needing high-temperature protection for automotive components. Its key benefit is superior resistance to extreme heat (up to 1000°C), oil, and automotive fluids, offering 5x tougher protection than standard paints. A potential caveat is the specialized application required for optimal adhesion and durability on 3D surfaces.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum temperature this paint can withstand?
The Raptor Flameproof Aerosol is designed to withstand temperatures up to 1000°C.
How long does it take for the paint to cure fully?
Curing times can vary based on temperature and humidity. Refer to the product packaging for specific drying and curing recommendations. Generally, allow at least 24 hours for initial handling and several days for full cure.
Can I use this on plastic components?
This product is specifically formulated for metal surfaces subjected to high heat. It is not recommended for use on plastic components.
Is this paint available in other colors?
The provided product information is for the Red - 400ml variant. Availability of other colors may vary.
How should I prepare the surface before applying the paint?
The surface must be clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and contaminants. Light abrasion is recommended for optimal adhesion, followed by another cleaning.
What does '5x tougher than ordinary paints' mean?
This refers to the paint's enhanced durability and resistance to abrasion, chipping, and environmental factors compared to standard aerosol paints.
Can I apply multiple thick coats to speed up the process?
It is best to apply multiple thin, even coats rather than thick ones. Thick coats can lead to runs, drips, and improper curing, compromising the paint's protective properties.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or sputtering
Ensure the can is shaken thoroughly for the recommended time. If the nozzle is blocked, try clearing it with a fine solvent or replacing the can.
Paint not adhering well
Verify that the surface was properly cleaned, degreased, and abraded before application. Ensure application conditions (temperature, humidity) are within recommended ranges.
Paint blistering or flaking
This usually indicates inadequate surface preparation or application of coats that were too thick. Ensure thin coats are applied and surface is free of moisture.
Coating remains soft or tacky
Ensure application in a well-ventilated area and allow sufficient curing time. Extreme humidity or low temperatures can affect drying and curing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Withstands extreme temperatures up to 1000°C.
- Offers robust protection against heat, oil, and automotive fluids.
- Provides superior adhesion, preventing common paint failures like peeling.
- Features a clog-free nozzle for consistent and targeted application.
- Significantly tougher than standard aerosol paints.
Cons
- Requires careful surface preparation for optimal performance.
- Color is specific to Red (400ml variant).
- May require multiple thin coats for best results.
- Not suitable for applications requiring extreme flexibility after curing.
- Application on very intricate 3D surfaces may still require practice.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, and contaminants.
- Lightly abrade surfaces for optimal adhesion. Clean again after abrading.
- Shake the aerosol can vigorously for at least 2 minutes before use.
- Hold the can upright and apply in thin, even coats from approximately 25-30cm away.
- Allow adequate drying time between coats as per product recommendations.
Compatibility:
This product is designed for use on metal surfaces commonly found in automotive applications that experience high temperatures. It is compatible with most automotive primers and bare metal surfaces after proper preparation.
Care:
Once cured, the painted surface is extremely durable. Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. For maintenance, periodically inspect for any signs of wear and touch up if necessary following the setup and application guidelines.
