User questions & answers

Question:	Does the clear enamel have a gloss to it
Answer:	Yes for hgheat engine clear it has a nice clear when the directions are followed
Question:	how well would this product work painting my car dis brake calipers
Answer:	I think this paint would work good on the calipers, clean them real good and get the free of rust, and then put a primer on them. This paint works great on a lot projects. It is a little slow drying, but seems to very durable.
Question:	Does this have to heat up in order to cure? or can it be sprayed and then withstand up to 500' temps?using inside headlight housing:projector retrofit
Answer:	You will need to let the paint fully cure before heating for the best durability, subjecting the paint to heat before it cures can lead to bubbling and/or flaking.
Question:	Can this product be used on an electric range? I have intentions of painting our stove but the products for that don't come in high gloss as this does
Answer:	Rustoleum makes a product called "Appliance Epoxy." I've used it for years on everything from the side of a refrigerator to race car parts. It dries to a rock hard shiny finish and is practically indestructible. That's going to be what you'll need.

Question:	Will this work on gym equipment? Looking to paint my squat rack neon green. Thx
Answer:	yes
Question:	Has anyone had luck with the VHT clear coat enamel? Does it last and resist chemicals
Answer:	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}
Question:	can i use this on my brake calipers
Answer:	Yes. 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.
Question:	Is it OK to use a gray primer and then use a hot pink paint over top of the gray
Answer:	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.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this adhere to chrome motorcycle exhaust pipes
Answer:	No! will not stick to chrome..best bet is a Jet Hot Coating from a powder coater.. This stuff does not hold up well under high heat conditions, will flake off at the hot bends of pipes
Question:	For inside tubing on exaust manifold, is primer application sufficient for protection without , color, VHT paint coatings
Answer:	I think it is. I have used this primer ONLY on the exhaust of one of our cars. Curing is tricky. Have to follow istructions on the primer can.
Question:	Can I use this on a firepit to prevent rust
Answer:	Yes but any paint will do that as long as you clean the rust off . All your doing is keeping the water and air from getting to the raw metal . The high tempPaint has to be bake in an oven to 600*F
Question:	can this be used for arts and crafts to and not just cars
Answer:	I don't see why you couldn't use this for other applications but if your not going to be heating your crafts to over 1000* why would you need a high heat clear coat.

User questions & answers

Question:	One review says it must be "baked". how long at what temp? thank you
Answer:	Warm or hot weather temperature during the daylight is fine. Not recommended in the cold / rainy weather day, the moisture in the air will settle on the pure metal & paint contact. Bake is the professional automotive body painters, to get rid of moisture in the metal's pour, better metal & paint contact. Best judgement, or YouTube it. Be safe, have fun.
Question:	Can this be used to spray brake parts such as rotors
Answer:	Use Rust-Oleum® Caliper Paint for brake parts including rotors.
Question:	How glossy it is
Answer:	The Amazon listing shows "Rust-Oleum Automotive 260771 11-Ounce 2000 Degrees High Heat Spray, Gloss Clear", however, it also says MATTE???? So which is it, glossy or matte?
Question:	I do folk art painting on enamel on steel tea kettles. Can I use this on my kettles to protect the enamel paint from the heat from stove use
Answer:	Rust-oleum will hold up but I wold have major concerns for the paint underneath the Rust-oleum, which would deteriorate quickly under the heat.

Question:	Will this have problems repelling gas or oil

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this clear resistant to gasoline if it is spilled on it
Answer:	No I spilled some on my tank and it yellowed an peeled
Question:	Hi, can this product be used on Plastic Headlights? Thanks
Answer:	It kind of depends on what you're doing with the headlights. As stated here if you're doing a standard restoration kit to remove the normal yellowing in the headlight's plastic lens, those kits do not come with a process to clear coat afterwards. In general terms though, if you want to clear coat the lens you're just adding clear protective layers to the lens and have the added benefit that if you then get a scratch you simply have to hit it again with some sandpaper and apply a new coat to "remove" the scratch. If you use a fine grit sandpaper (800 - 1200) to scuff the lens in order to hold the clear coat you'll be fine and would never use any type of primer in this instance. I have to say I have not used this on headlights but I "smoked" my tail lights with VTH Nightshades and then clear coated over that with this and it turned out great. I also have to say though that I only got a little over a year out of it before the clear coat started to yellow and the Nightshades started to lighten up so just using a headlight restoration kit may keep the yellow off longer, I've just never used one to know for sure.
Question:	I used a dupli-color clearcoat with da1692 code. but can looked different and it said "clearcoat". is this the same clearcoat or is it different
Answer:	Yes this is clear coat and this clear coat is a paint which gives glows 'shine' to the existing paint surface. (I have bought one of these and tried to use it on my car's bumper and it really messed up) I recommend to try on any old paint surface before using on main body
Question:	Would i be able to apply this over my hood after i paint it
Answer:	That is the purpose but I would not recommend it. It wants a week between coats or it will orange peel. Try a lacquer instead. You can build up coats to match the gloss level.
