The SolaDirect Heat-Resistant Enamel Spray Paint is an essential solution for homeowners and professionals looking to refurbish or protect heating components like radiators, boilers, and hot water pipes. Its primary benefit is providing a durable, smooth, white finish that stands up to temperatures reaching +80°C, ensuring your heating infrastructure remains aesthetically pleasing and corrosion-resistant. While it offers excellent coverage, it is important to note that it is strictly rated for surfaces below the 80°C threshold, meaning it is not suitable for direct application on exhaust manifolds or high-heat wood-burning stoves.

No. Wood-burning stoves reach temperatures far exceeding 80°C, which would cause this paint to fail.
Yes, it is designed for copper and steel heating pipes, provided they do not exceed 80°C.
While the enamel is formulated for direct application, light sanding of the metal surface is recommended to ensure the best possible adhesion.
Drying times vary based on ambient temperature and humidity, but generally it is touch-dry within a few hours.
It is designed to be highly durable for indoor heating environments, though direct, prolonged exposure to intense UV light may affect any white paint over many years.
This product is specifically formulated for metal surfaces such as steel, aluminium, and copper.
You are applying too much paint at once. Use lighter, faster passes and allow drying time between coats.
The surface was likely not cleaned or degreased properly. Sand lightly and re-clean with a solvent before reapplying.
Soak the nozzle in warm water or mineral spirits, or replace it if it remains blocked.
Before applying the paint, you must prepare the surface. Start by sanding away any loose rust and cleaning the area with a degreasing agent to remove oil or dust. Ensure the surface is completely dry before spraying. Shake the can vigorously for at least one minute to ensure the pigments are properly mixed. Maintain a distance of 20-30cm from the object while spraying in a sweeping motion. Allow adequate ventilation during application and drying time. Once the project is complete, clear the nozzle by turning the can upside down and spraying until only clear propellant emerges.
