Simoniz Red VHT Paint is a 500ml very high temperature aerosol developed for exhaust manifolds and exhaust systems, protecting up to 800°C. It also resists petrol and solvents, so a red manifold stays clean-looking in a busy engine bay.

Good to know

• Why not ordinary paint on a manifold? Exhaust manifolds on petrol engines can run hotter than 600°C under hard use, which burns ordinary paint and engine enamel off; this VHT paint is rated to 800°C.
• What goes underneath it? Ordinary primer burns off under exhaust heat, so very high temperature paint goes on clean bare metal or over its own system: strip rust and old paint first.
• Why does it smell the first time? Heat-resistant paints often smoke and smell on their first heat cycle as they finish curing; run the engine outdoors and let it warm up gently.

Which one?

For higher heat, Raptor Flameproof Flat Red (RFLFR/AL) is rated to 1000°C; for a clear over bare metal, PMA Vht Paint Clear (PCPA1039) to 800°C.
