Product Information
Full details
Autotek VHT Spray Paint is the ideal solution for automotive enthusiasts and DIY restorers looking to protect and rejuvenate metal components exposed to extreme thermal stress, such as exhaust manifolds and engine parts. Its specialized formula provides a durable, heat-resistant barrier capable of withstanding temperatures up to 650°C (1202°F) while maintaining a professional black finish. While it offers exceptional adhesion and weather resistance, users must ensure proper surface preparation and allow for a full 24-hour curing period to achieve the manufacturer's intended durability.

FAQs
Does this paint require a primer?
Autotek VHT is designed for high adhesion, but for the best results on bare metal, a compatible high-heat primer can be used.
Can I use this on plastic engine covers?
No, this product is specifically formulated for metal surfaces that reach high temperatures. It will not bond correctly to plastic.
How long until I can drive my car after painting the exhaust?
While touch-dry in 20 minutes, wait at least 24 hours to ensure the paint has fully cured and hardened before subjecting it to operational heat.
Is the finish matte or glossy?
Autotek VHT typically provides a satin-to-matte finish designed to look like factory-standard engine or exhaust components.
Can I use this on my indoor fireplace?
Yes, it is excellent for metal fireplace components, provided you follow the ventilation instructions during the curing process.
Troubleshooting
The finish looks uneven or runny.
You likely applied the coat too heavily. Sand down the affected area once dry and apply thinner, lighter coats from a further distance.
The paint is peeling shortly after application.
This is usually caused by inadequate surface preparation. Ensure all oil, grease, and rust were removed completely before the initial application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting your project, ensure you are working in a well-ventilated area to manage aerosol fumes. Shake the can vigorously for at least 2 minutes to ensure the heat-resistant pigments are properly mixed. The paint is compatible with most ferrous metal surfaces. For maintenance, keep the nozzle clear by inverting the can after use and spraying briefly to clear the valve. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the propellant.
