FAQs
What is the maximum temperature this paint can handle?
This paint is engineered to withstand temperatures exceeding 500°C.
Can I use this on plastic engine covers?
No, this product is specifically formulated for metal surfaces and may not adhere properly to plastics.
How long does the paint take to fully cure?
You should allow the paint to cure for 24 hours before subjecting the treated part to high heat.
Do I need a primer before applying this paint?
Autotek VHT paint is designed for excellent adhesion to metal, but ensure the surface is perfectly clean and free of contaminants for the best results.
Is it safe to use this indoors?
No, this product should only be used outdoors or in a very well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling fumes.
How do I prevent the nozzle from blocking?
Always spray the can upside down for 2-5 seconds after each session to clear the nozzle.
Troubleshooting
Nozzle is blocked and paint will not spray
If the nozzle is clogged, remove it and soak in paint thinner or replace it if necessary. Always invert the can and spray for 2-5 seconds after each use to prevent this.
Paint is running or sagging during application
You are likely holding the can too close or applying the coats too heavily. Increase the distance to 15-25cm and apply thinner, lighter coats.
Paint is not drying or staying tacky
Ensure the ambient temperature is between 15°C-25°C. Painting in high humidity or temperatures below 15°C can significantly impede the curing process.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Resists temperatures over 500°C
- Prevents rust and corrosion on metal parts
- Easy-to-use aerosol delivery system
- Professional aluminium aesthetic finish
- Excellent surface adhesion
Cons
- Requires well-ventilated space or outdoor use

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, shake the aerosol vigorously for two minutes before starting. Always work in an area with a temperature between 15°C and 25°C to ensure the solvents evaporate correctly. Maintain a consistent distance of 15-25cm from the substrate while spraying. After each use, invert the aerosol canister and spray for 2-5 seconds; this clears the internal straw and nozzle, preventing the high-solids paint from drying inside and blocking the tip. Keep the product stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
