VHT FlameProof Coating will renew and extend the life of any surface exposed to extremely high temperatures. This unique coating is a matte finish, ceramic base silicone widely used by the automotive industry on exhaust systems and the aerospace industry for jet engines, re-entry vehicles, the Stealth fighter, B-2 bomber and other high temperature applications. Will withstand 1500F.

How-To
1. Prepare metal surfaces by removing all dirt, rust, scale, and paint. This can be accomplished by sandblasting or with fine sand paper. To remove paint we recommend the VHT Strip Fast Aggressive Paint Remover (SP-575).Clean all skin oils and residue with a high grade solvent.
2. Mark areas not to be sprayed. Also protect surrounding area from overspray.
3. For best results, apply when parts, can, and ambient temperature is between 70F (21C) and 90F (35C).
4. For maximum adhesion and color consistency, we recommend VHT FlameProof Primer (SP-118) within 24 hours of exposing bare metal.
5. Shake can vigorously for one minute after mixing ball rattles. Shake periodically between coats.
6. Spray object with can upright about 15 inches from the object. More thin coats are better than fewer thick coats. After a sufficient quantity of paint to color only. Excessively thick paint is not recommended as it will cause blistering. If paint runs or sags, it is easily removed with a strong solvent before curing. VHT FlameProof Coating will air dry in 15-30 minutes.
7. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT- After paint is completely dry, it must be cured to substantially increase the durability of the finish and enhance chemical resistance. See curing for details.
8. Clear out sprayer after each use by turning can upside down and pressing spray button until no paint comes out.

Curing
Off the Vehicle:
Bake at 250F for 30 minutes, then let cool for 30 minutes. Bake at 400F for 30 minutes, then let cool for 30 minutes. Bake at 600F for 30 minutes, then let cool for 30 minutes. Caution: Do not exceed the heat tolerance of least heat tolerant part. Finish is not chemical resistant until cured.

On the Vehicle:
Run at idle for 10 minutes, then cool for 20 minutes. Run at idle for 20 minutes, then cool for 20 minutes. Run under normal operating conditions for 30 minutes.
Finish is not chemical resistant until cured.

Applications:

• Engines
• Alternators
• Water Pumps
• Transmissions
• Heads
• Engine Blocks
• Differential Covers
• Brackets
• Starters
• Oil Pans
• Valve Covers
• Drive Trains
• Painted Engine Components

VHT 550F (288C) Engine Enamels are available in a wide range of colors, including exact match factory colors. All colors have excellent durability and superior heat and solvent resistance. They are specially formulated to withstand corrosion, rust, salt spray, strong solvents and additives of today's gasoline blends and degreasers. VHT 550F (288C) Engine Enamels are a unique blend of urethane resins, which produce a tough and long-lasting finish for engines, engine accessories or wherever a tough durable heat or chemical resistant finish is needed.

Dry Time
Dries to the touch in 15 to 30 minutes, Thoroughly overnite. Curing time required and can be done on or off the vehicle

How-To
1. Use VHT Aggressive Strip Fast Paint Remover (SP-575) to remove all dirt, rust, scale and paint. This can also be accomplished by sand blasting. Finally, clean with non-residue solvent and allow to dry before spraying
2. Mask areas not to be sprayed. Also protect surrounding area from overspray.
3. For best results, apply when parts, can, and ambient temperature is between 70F (21C) and 90F (35C).
4. Shake can vigorously for one minute after mixing ball rattles. Shake periodically between coats.
5. Spray object with can upright about 15 inches from the object. More thin coats are better than fewer thick coats. Apply all coats within 30minutes or wait 24 hours to apply successive coats. If paints sags or runs, you are to close or applying to heavily. VHT Engine Enamel will dry to the touch in 15-30 minutes. Dries completely overnight.
6. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT - After paint is completely air dried, it must be cured to substantially increase the durability of the finish and enhance chemical resistance. See curing for details.
7. Clear out sprayer after each use by turning can upside down and pressing spray button until no paint comes out.
8. If clogging develops, remove spray button with a twisting motion and clean. Do not stick pin or other objects in to can. Gently replace spray button with a twisting motion while top of can and spray button opening are pointing away from you.

Curing
Off the Vehicle:
Bake at 200F for 1 hour. Caution: Do not exceed the heat tolerance of least heat tolerant component.

On the Vehicle:
The inherent heat of engine operation will also accomplish curing. Start the engine and run at idle for 15 minutes and let cool. Restart engine and run no more than 1 hour and again let cool. Finish is not chemical resistant until cured.
