Hammerite High Heat is a 400ml matt black aerosol for metal that gets hot, resisting up to 600°C without a primer. It suits brackets and heat shields near the engine, stove pipes and similar hot metalwork, and it dries quickly to a protective finish that resists cracking and flaking.

Good to know

• Is it right for an exhaust manifold? Exhaust manifolds on petrol engines can run hotter than 600°C under hard use, so a VHT paint developed for manifolds is the safer pick; this one covers heat shields and parts further from the engine.
• How should it be applied? On clean, grease-free metal with loose rust and flaking paint removed; spray several thin coats and let each one dry, as a thick coat is more likely to blister once heated.
• Will it smell the first time it heats up? Heat-resistant paints often smoke and smell on their first heat cycle as they finish curing, so do the first run outdoors or with good ventilation.

Which one?

For exhaust manifolds, Simoniz Black VHT Paint (SIMVHT20D) or Silver VHT (SIMVHT22D) protect up to 800°C; for barbecues, Hammerite BBQ Paint (5092865).
