FAQs
What is the maximum temperature this paint can withstand?
The paint can withstand temperatures up to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit).
Do I need to use a primer with this paint?
No primer is required for most surfaces, including bare metal, alloy, and steel. However, proper cleaning and degreasing are essential.
Can this paint be used on exhaust pipes?
Yes, it can be used on exhaust components like tips or the rear sections that do not exceed 180°C. It is not suitable for the hottest parts of the exhaust manifold or downpipe.
How should I clean painted surfaces?
Clean painted surfaces with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive materials or strong solvents.
What surfaces is this paint compatible with?
It is compatible with bare metal, alloy, steel, and most pre-painted surfaces. It is designed for high-heat applications.
How long does the paint take to dry?
The paint dries quickly, but specific drying times will vary depending on application thickness and environmental conditions. Allow adequate time between coats.
Can this paint be used on the inside of a stove?
This paint is designed for the exterior surfaces of stoves and other high-heat applications. It should not be used on surfaces exposed to direct flames or the inside of cooking areas.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. Lightly abrade the surface if it's smooth or pre-painted. Ensure application is on compatible materials.
Uneven finish or brush marks visible
Apply thinner coats and use a high-quality brush. If spraying, ensure consistent distance and speed. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Paint is peeling after exposure to heat
Verify that the surface temperature did not exceed the paint's 180°C limit. Ensure thorough surface preparation and that no contaminants were trapped under the paint layer.
Paint seems too thick for application
Stir the paint thoroughly. If necessary and for spray application, thin with a suitable solvent as recommended by the manufacturer, ensuring not to over-thin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation:
- Clean Surfaces: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from grease, oil, dirt, and loose paint. For best results, degrease thoroughly.
- Bare Metal: For bare metal, alloy, and steel, no primer is typically required. Ensure the surface is scuff-sanded for optimal adhesion if necessary.
- Pre-painted Surfaces: Lightly abrade any existing paint to provide a key for adhesion.
Application:
- Stir Well: Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use.
- Application Method: Can be applied by brush or spray. For spray application, thin with a suitable solvent if necessary, following manufacturer recommendations.
- Coats: Apply thin, even coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per drying instructions.
Compatibility:
- Surfaces: Suitable for bare metal, alloy, steel, and most pre-painted surfaces. Not recommended for direct contact with flames or exhaust gases hotter than 180°C.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean painted surfaces with a mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents that could damage the finish.
- Maintenance: Regularly inspect painted areas for chips or wear, and touch up as needed to maintain protection.
