Step 1 – Start With a Cool Surface

Never spray onto:

• Hot metal
• Operating engines
• Lit BBQs
• Hot chimineas
• Heated exhaust components

The aerosol itself is extremely flammable.

Step 2 – Clean Thoroughly

Remove:

• Oil
• Grease
• Fuel residue
• Dirt
• Dust
• Silicone
• Contamination

Correct preparation is especially important on engine and automotive components.

Step 3 – Remove Loose Rust & Old Paint

Use:

• Wire brush
• Steel wool
• Suitable abrasive

to remove:

• Loose corrosion
• Rust scale
• Flaking paint
• Poorly adhering coatings

Step 4 – Consider the Entire Paint System

If a primer or existing coating remains underneath the VHT paint, that underlying layer must also tolerate the intended operating temperature.

Do not assume an ordinary:

• Etch primer
• Acrylic primer
• Filler primer
• Standard lacquer

can withstand 650°C.

Step 5 – Shake Thoroughly

Shake until the agitator ball can be heard rattling freely.

Continue shaking periodically during spraying.

Step 6 – Spray From 15–30cm

Apply in smooth, even strokes from approximately:

15–30CM

Step 7 – Apply a Thin Coat

Begin with a:

THIN, EVEN LAYER

Avoid heavy wet application.

Step 8 – Repeat 1–2 Times

Apply a further:

1–2 THIN COATS

until complete coverage is achieved.

Step 9 – Allow to Dry

Allow solvents to evaporate before introducing heat.

Do not heat the coating while wet.

Step 10 – Heat Cure

Full cure is reached when the paint achieves:

260°C

Follow equipment and component safety requirements when bringing the painted part to curing temperature.

Step 11 – Clear the Nozzle

After spraying:

• Turn the can upside down
• Spray for approximately 2 seconds to help clear the nozzle.
