VHT makes hi-temp engine enamel rated to 550 degrees F (288 degrees C)

Direction 1/7 says, "Clean surface thoroughly. Remove grease, oil, loose paint, rust etc. Sand previously painted surfaces lightly, then clean with a high grade solvent and allow to dry before spraying"

No mention is made of undercoating.

This product is used on engines - and I used it on an Alfa Romeo with pleasing results.

Honestly, Mine is done with $12 cans of touch up spray paint from super cheap. Its been 6 months and it still looks like this:

No its not as good as ceramic coating or any of that, but its stood up to the heat fine. Its not even prepped that well cause it has scratched off in one or two spots, but the heat is not a concern. I have 2 spare sets of cam covers to do it properly later on, but I'm pretty happy with how well these have lasted so far

I'm not sure what sort of position you're in with your cover being on or off, but if you sandblast, chromate etch and then paint....it's going nowhere fast. 3M have a nice acrylic clear that polishes up pretty well, other than that, all of my cooler pipes under the bonnet were a nice decent coat of polyurethane that looked wet it was so glossy.

vht make an engine clear temp rated to 550 degrees, did my covers using leftover calipers paint and this clear. looks shinny and hasn't gotten damaged at all by heat

To get a shiny look, just get gloss.

...not semi or satin or matt

I'm not sure about a Hi-Temp Clear; but gloss is quite shiny.

Any Automotive Paint shop can advise.

Did my r31 rocker in gloss red 11 years ago in brake caliper paint , still perfect

R34 is done in metallic titanium silver ( not high temp) coated in anodized blue colour cast ( not high temp ) and high temp vht clear , looks amazing and way better then powder coat , under 50 bucks just prep well and dry in warm dry air and heat up a bit a few times before mounting to set the paint ( hi temp clear will cloud if you dont)

I did my brakes and rotors same process 4 years ago and they look perfect still )

Yes the humidity for most clear coats should be 40-60% tops but its even more critical with that vht clear and the ceramic paints from vht wont set until heat cycled a few times ( sunlight or heater and 23c at least when sprayed , the paint and alloy must be warm or the alloy repels the paint from being cold ) ) they look dry but easy to fark up , that clear and ceramic paints fark up paint that isnt 90% dry at least before applying

The ceramic matte black is amazing stuff it bonds well to clean degreased metal and does cool to the touch a bit , works a treat to stealth stainless mufflers that stand out otherwise

But use care it must be applied with carbon mask at least , its really harsh when spraying

i didnt pre prime any metal except degrease light sanding and wax and grease remover and it wont come off and holds up to tools hitting it , i used the titanium silver instead of the silver base coat on metal cast it really pops a lot better in sunlight with blue candy over it , and the colour alone looks damn nice , rustolium brand only ( crappy sprayers lol ) but close to 2 pac custom look

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
