VHT SP998 FlameProof Coating Cast Iron Paint Can - 11 oz.

Got the paint, rattle the ratsh-t out of it for over the span of 2 days without a mixing ball. Said to heck with it since I'd like to wrap up my project and only need the paint and primer to function as a sealant of sorts. I used Rustoleum 2000F Primer and cured once at 250F, once at 400F and twice at 450F (my oven doesnt go up to the recommended 600F) The primers finish came out great, I received this can of VHT and after deciding to just "send it" despite the lack of mixing ball, off I went. I made sure to shake up the paint as good as I possibly can to give it (and myself) the best shot. I was expecting dribbly nozzle action. The can worked as normal, the spray pattern and atomization seemed unaffected (keep in mind I shook the hell out of it for at least 3 collective hours). I cured this the exact same as I cured the primer. The finish was pretty good except for a few spots where I may have oversprayed a little bit, only very slight miniscule bubbles on one or two areas. I let it cure again at 450F which seemed to harden up those bubbles a little more so I figured it was fairly well cured. Lots of off-gassing smoking when curing, do not do this indoors. I expect more smoke when the car is started. Other than missing a mixing ball, which the rustoleum primer definitely had, I guess the product speaks for itself. This part is completely hidden in the engine bay, this was just to help the 40 year old iron with heat dissipation and to possibly prevent a surface crack from spreading. The paint was used for it's utility and not aesthetics so I suppose it's not a bad deal. Shipping was awful, but again a fault on my part since I didn't bother to check local stores. Almost a week coast to coast.

Perfect color for exhaust manifolds! Used my old grill to cure them. Even better looking color after cure. Time will tell how they hold up but at the moment they're perfect

This is a good product My only problem with it is the color seems to be different from can to can. Not very consistent. But it holds up well goes on well.

Great paint can, I loved the results

This Product is excellent as far as coverage, adhesion, looks and I hope durability. The only issue I had was the can started acting up about 2/3 of the way through so I had a bit of difficulty with the application towards the end of my painting process but managed to deal with the intermittent spray application. Not quite sure what the problem was but if I fiddled with the can and nozzle enough I was able to finish my project.
