VHT Engine Paint
Just wanted to share my experience with VHT's line of 'High Heat' Engine Enamels. Painted a new McLeod scattershield and my old TKO trans today. Scuffed them both with a red 3M Scotchbrite and then hit them with some aerosol wax/grease remover. Then blew off the parts with some compressed air to make sure everything was dry and dust free - then 3 coats of VHT High Heat Engine Primer, waiting 10 mins between coats. Once that was good and dry (to the touch), I shot on 4 coats of VHT High Heat paint, waiting 10-12 minutes between coats.
Once I get this stuff road tested, I'll follow up with some opinions on how it holds up to some hard driving. Until then, all I can say is that is lays down really well and looks pretty decent sitting in my garage. I have used the VHT Roll Bar & Chassis paint before with good results, so I figured I'd give their engine paints a try.
