Autotek ATOVHTA500 is a 500ml matt aluminium VHT paint, heat stable up to 500C, for silencers, exhaust pipes, heat shields and other hot metal that should look like bare alloy. It is self-priming, grips bare steel and is made to last outdoors, so it suits the visible parts of an exhaust system.

Good to know

• Is 500C enough for my manifold? For silencers, pipes and heat shields it usually is; for a manifold or turbo housing that runs hotter, the black VHT is rated higher.
• Does it need curing? Most VHT and engine paints reach full heat resistance only after a heat cure, usually by running the engine or exhaust gently as the can directs.
• How do I prepare the exhaust? Let it cool completely, wire-brush off rust and scale, degrease it, then spray thin coats straight onto the bare steel.

Which one?

For the hottest parts, the Autotek VHT Paint – Matt Black – 500ml (ATOVHTB500) is rated to 650C. For a darker metallic look, the Autotek VHT Paint – Matt Silver/Grey – 500ml (ATOVHTSG500) is rated to 550C.
