PMA Vht Paint Clear Aerosol 500ml (PCPA1039)

Description

Genuine PMA · Part no. PCPA1039

Safety: Danger. Extremely flammable aerosol. Pressurised container: may burst if heated. Causes serious eye damage. May cause drowsiness or dizziness. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking. Read the label before use.

PMA VHT Paint Clear is a very high temperature aerosol on a silicone base, rated to resist up to 800°C, for exhausts, manifolds and other parts that get very hot. As a clear, matt coat it protects while letting the metal or colour underneath show through.

Good to know

• Will it handle a manifold? Exhaust manifolds on petrol engines can run hotter than 600°C under hard use, and this clear is rated to 800°C, so it is made for that job, unlike ordinary paint or engine enamel.
• How do I prepare the part? Ordinary primer burns off under exhaust heat, so very high temperature paint goes on clean, degreased bare metal or over its own system; remove rust and old paint first.
• Why is it smoking? Heat-resistant paints often smoke and smell on their first heat cycle as they finish curing, so run the engine gently outdoors the first time.

Which one?

For colour on the exhaust, Simoniz Red VHT Paint (SIMVHT23D) protects to 800°C and Raptor Flameproof Flat Black 400ml (RFLFB/AL) to 1000°C; for engine blocks, PMA Engine Enamel Paint Red (PCPA1040).
