It is a specially formulated engine spray paint designed to withstand corrosion, rust, salt spray, chemicals and additives of today's gasoline blends and degreasers. This VHT paint is ideal for headers, engine blocks, starters, brackets, water pumps, valve covers, transmissions, and differential covers.

VHT is part of a multi high performance coating system for the ultimate protection and quality. The coating system consists of engine primer, engine color, and engine clear. VHT Engine Enamel dries to the touch in 1 hour and completely overnight. VHT Engine Enamel only attains its unique qualities after correct curing. Curing occurs with normal engine operating temperatures or parts can be heated to 200° F. Complete application and curing process instructions are also printed on each can. Review: I used VHT Paint (Primer, Satin Black, and Clear) to restore my motorcycle wheels which had over 100,000 miles on them and looked pretty beat up. I really like working with VHT spray paint and is my first choice for a number of different applications from brake parts to engine blocks. So when I was looking for paint to restore my wheels, I turned to VHT. This paint spray nicely - and dries to the touch in 30 minutes. They suggest two light coats followed by one medium coat allowing 10 minutes in between coats. All coats should be applied within 1 hour. Any additional coats after the one hour - you need to wait 7 days for the paint to cure. This is about the only spray paint I have found that you can actually use rubbing compound to polish out the final coat and achieve a really smooth, glossy surface. My wheels look like brand new Review: Not much to say. It's just spray paint. ## Features - VHT HIGH HEAT PAINT – VHT Engine Enamel Primer features a blend of urethane & ceramic resins for max heat resistance.

I've used it on my brake calipers and it works great. Depending on how much you drive you may have to touch it up to keep it bright every so often but that's going to happen regardless of what paint you use because brake dust, etc. I use this because its high temperature. **Q: Is it OK to use a gray primer and then use a hot pink paint over top of the gray** A: Primer of any kind will be good for a nice finish for whatever you are painting. I recommend 3 light coats of primer lightly sanded in between. When getting ready to apply you engine paint, beware, this is thick paint. It has heavy particulate matter which is the paint. I recommend that you turn the paint can upside down for 3 to 4 hours. This paint settles heavily. After several hours upside down, shake violently to get it mixed well. After that don't spray too close to your target surface. Do not spray at any temp less than 72 degrees fahrenheit, and spray evenly side to side about 5 to 6 inches, from surface. **Q: Has anyone had luck with the VHT clear coat enamel? Does it last and resist chemicals?** A: Hey Josh, Pretty much like any other Clear Coat. It does work. Should re spray a couple of coats. It will last for awhile,depending how it's used!! Hope this helps! {wolfman} **Q: Is the gold one a glossy finish?** A: yes it is.. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***N on 2 December 2010* I used VHT Paint (Primer, Satin Black, and Clear) to restore my motorcycle wheels which had over 100,000 miles on them and looked pretty beat up.
