runt Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I'd say anything with ceramic in it should hold up well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpchris Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Vht flame coating. But you have to bake it or its worthless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for you car I would go balls to the wall for it. VHT, Por-15 makes some good coating, any engine enamel should do what you want. Otherwise a high temp powdercoat or ceramic coating.

BXX Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 NONE of the paints/coatings will help unless they can be baked properly.. Doesnt matter what brand type you use. If it doesnt have instructions on how to bake it or it cant be baked, then you dont wanna waste your money on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSI_MuNkY Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 All the POR15 High temp paints have to be heated up to 300*F (150*C) before they meet their full "harness" I'm pretty sure this is the case with any high heat paint. This is what the VHT paint looks like after 1 year, was not baked. (hopefully the pic attached, photobucket is down) My father uses my mothers oven to bake car parts he paints all the time. Only when shes not home though, lol. None of us have ever gotten sick from it. Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jake63 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I have used por 15 with good results, but the finish needs to be "weathered" for the stuff to stick, will not stick to fresh oily metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 ohh just a 2ft section. i was thinking of my DP. it came in a box over 4 feet long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Yeah, I definately would not bake any of the coatings in your personal oven. And, more times than not, I've seen the "high temp paints" sold at parts store burn off just after the first few times of running the vehicle at normal temperature range. IMO, do it right, or don't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
