SP145 550° Engine Enamel High Heat Spray Paint – Gloss Clear – 11 oz. Aerosol Can

One of my favorite rattle can paints for engines. Not the best, but not far away either as long as you follow the instructions and don’t spray too heavy a coat at once VHT gives you spectacular results every time. I’ll continue to use this product and you should

It was great for the nailhead engine build that I did

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

Works great for crafting items exposed to heat.

Used it on my caliper covers to glue down vinyl decals. Worked great.

It worked quite well for resurfacing a cast iron pot lid which had a colored exterior coated with glass. The glass coat had come off it the dishwasher. This gloss spray restored most of the shine - not all - but I am grateful for what I got because I was devastated over what the dishwasher did to my beautiful and rather pricey pot. it is oven worthy again.

It's shiny clear coat paint it got the job done good product

…on brake calipers. Still needs clear coat.
