• Intermittent operating temperatures up to 650°F (343°C) help protect metal components during heat cycling.
• Cool sparkling metallic look that stands up to wear while enhancing the appearance of engine parts.
• Part of a complete coating system designed for engines, including primer, color, and clear for best results.
• Fast touch-dry time (about 30 minutes) with full cure overnight, enabling quicker project completion.

This coating system is tailored for engines and related components such as brackets and covers, delivering a balance of performance and aesthetics. The Burnt Copper color can coordinate with many OEM finishes, offering an option for restoration or customization without compromising protection.

In practice, you can expect a coating that withstands common automotive environments and typical degreasers, helping to preserve the look and integrity of covered parts over time. While results depend on preparation and curing, the formula is designed to provide reliable protection and a visually appealing finish for daily drivers and enthusiast builds alike.

Where to use

• Headers, engine blocks, starters, brackets, water pumps, valve covers, transmissions, and differential covers.
• Engine bays and compatible components where a durable, heat-resistant metallic finish is desired.

Application & curing

Prepare surfaces by cleaning and degreasing. Apply in thin, even coats, allowing each pass to level before the next. The surface dries to the touch in about 30 minutes and cures fully overnight. For accelerated curing, parts can be heated to 200°F, aligning with the recommended curing approach for engine parts. The coating system works best when used as part of a primer-color-clear sequence for maximum protection and gloss retention.

Overall, VHT SP402 offers a practical balance of protection and aesthetics for engine components, with a finish that remains visually appealing under heat and chemical exposure. While not a guarantee of performance, it provides a credible option for automotive restorations and upgrades that require a durable, high-heat finish.
