I've used the VHT brake caliper/drum paint. It works great. I've also used Duplicolor engine paint on the engine in my Thunderbird and it has held up great. I just used the Duplicolor engine paint primer and then their engine paint.

great feedback!
we are painting various engine parts, some of which require the "flame proof" variety they offer in VHT,, over 1000degF stuff.
I did notice the engine paints are all 550degF but there is a like color list under the "flame proof" variety as well.

I love doing intakes and valve covers in the black wrinkle it looks killer

But if you ever use it its the one paint you want to follow directions ..... Don't touch it for 24h I learned that the hard way lol

does their header paint actually hold up? I have a rather rusty set of headers I'm planning to cut up and use on a project. can't afford to send them off for a high dollar coating

Pretty good but you have to bake them or run the car for a certain time to cure the paint

so it doesn't just burn off like other company's header paint? I have used various brands over the years and so far it all ends up burning off

Yeah, just don't let it get up to full teperature the first time you heat it to cure it.

how hot should it get to cure it? I have an old oven out in the shed I could plug in to get them nice and hot

Idk exact temperatures. I usually burn the oil and impurities off the raw metal with a map gas torch before I paint exhaust parts. You'll see the metal sweat and then dry as you apply the torch. Then I let it cool a little bit and do 3 coats while its still a little hot. Then I let it cool and heat it up a little hotter from the inside with the torch being carefull not to hold it in one spot. The paint will be less susceptible to scratching and chipping once it is cured.
