VHT SP148 Engine Enamel Light Gray Primer Can - 11 oz.

A Great Foundation for a Quality Paint Job I’ve learned over the years that the finished paint job is only as good as what’s underneath it, so I don’t cut corners when it comes to primer. I used this VHT Light Gray Engine Enamel Primer while refinishing engine components, and it gave me exactly the base I was looking for. It arrived quickly and was packaged well with no dents or leaks. The nozzle produced a nice, even spray pattern, making it easy to apply several light coats without blotching or excessive overspray. I especially liked the light gray color because it made it easy to see that I had even coverage before applying the engine enamel. After allowing it to cure, it provided an excellent surface for the color coat to bond to, and the finish came out smooth and consistent. As with any paint project, preparation is everything. Taking the time to properly clean and prep the parts makes all the difference, and this primer complements that process perfectly. I’ll definitely keep a few cans on the shelf for future restoration projects. It’s a quality product that performed exactly as I expected. #FoundItOnAmazon #VHT #EngineEnamel #EngineRestoration #AutomotivePaint #Jeep #LuxeLife

This primer works great, it covers well and thick enough to cover small imperfections. I'm using this primer on my Harley motor and Transmission.

I have painted a few engine components that have been exposed to Hi-Temps with great results. I never knew they made a Hi-Temp Clear. My current project is a 99 OBS Escahoe with 6.0 LS Swap and 4wd 80e. I painted the block using the simple steps what I have done for years. Strip using a wire brush, soak with engine de-greaser, power wash, dry, & paint. I wanted to paint my transmission purple b/c it is the same color as ATS Diesel's Transmissions & the Mrs. favorite color (but we all know the real deal) LOL. I couldn't get it at Advanced Auto Parts, I was forced to go online. Amazon had the best price but still about $3 more per can then at Advanced. When I found purple paint, Amazaon offered the primer and clear as well. I honestly had no clue about the primer spray and clear coat. I read a helpful review that the CLEAR COAT will form a SMOOTH surface over the paint. Smooth means less abrasive and the engine grime and dirt can't be in-bedded. The Cleared Part will be easy to maintain over the years keep my hard work clean! So I choose to do 3 stages Amazon recommended Primer. Paint, Clear. I still prepped (wire brush, de-grease, & power wash) the transmission before I lay first coat of primer (ended do three coats). I did as the directions on the can said to for all three stages of the paint phase. I WILL BE HONEST: When I first laid the clear I was upset, it seemed to dull the gloss purple paint that was finished drying. After it drying for 24 hours, the shine came back. Not glossy as originally it was, but the POP effect was there. The first thing I did was run my CLEAN hands over the cleared transmission & it was smooth as a virgin's bottom. I was very pleased & tempted to strip my block and re-do it in the 3 stages. I will leave the block and transmission as is see how they compare over a year and chime back in! Here is link my photobucket account of both motor and engine: [...] Hope this helps! ff40

I found this paint to cover well and now I will see how it holds up to the elements. I used the VHT matte black over this and I am going to add a VHT clear coat on top of that.
