Ever stared at your exhaust headers after a long track day, all pitted and faded from insane heat? That relentless blast can eat through metal fast, leading to rust, leaks, and pricey replacements. Enter VHT FlameProof Coating in flat black – the go-to solution for keeping high-heat parts looking sharp and performing like new.
This isn't your average spray paint. VHT FlameProof uses a tough silicone ceramic base that laughs off intermittent temps up to 2000°F (1093°C). Automotive shops slap it on exhaust manifolds, while aerospace folks protect jet engines and reentry vehicles with it. The matte finish hides fingerprints and road grime, giving a sleek, factory-fresh vibe.
Apply it right, and you'll cut down on corrosion that sneaks in from exhaust gases. No more flaking paint after a few heat cycles – this stuff bonds deep for lasting defense. Your engine bay stays cooler indirectly by reducing radiant heat, and cleanup? A breeze since nothing sticks to it. Racers report headers lasting seasons longer, and daily drivers love how it quiets down minor vibrations with that even coat.
Prep is straightforward: media blast or sand old finish, degrease with brake cleaner, then lay down thin coats. Force-cure in an oven at 400°F or use a heat gun for faster results. One can covers about 10-15 sq ft, perfect for a full manifold set. I've used it on my muscle car – transformed rusty pipes into stealth-black beasts ready for burnouts.
Whether you're wrenching on a hot rod, prepping for autocross, or just want headers that survive salty winters, VHT FlameProof delivers. It's the practical upgrade that saves time and cash long-term. Grab a can and feel the difference on your next build.
