What makes heat resistant paint special?
Heat Resistant paint is designed to withstand temperatures where ordinary paints begin to discolor or peel. Thus, heat-resistant paint can withstand temperatures 200°C to even more than 800°C. Thanks to its special composition, the paint stays on beautifully without flaking or discoloring. The advantage of a heat-resistant spray paint? You apply the paint evenly without brush marks or drips. Even in hard-to-reach areas, you can easily spray a smooth result.
What do you use heat resistant spray paint for?
Heat resistant spray paint has been specially developed for use on parts and objects that become warm or even hot. Because the paint is resistant to high temperatures, it is excellent for the following jobs:
- Car and motorcycle exhausts and manifolds
- Engine blocks and parts of machines
- Fireplaces and wood stoves
- Barbecues, smokers and outdoor kitchens
- Stove pipes and boilers
- Boilers and industrial plants
Popular colors of heat resistant paint
While it is important for the paint to be heat resistant, of course you also want it to look nice in style. Thus, there are various shades available so there is always a color among them that you like and suits your needs. The popular colors of heat resistant paint are:
- Black: Timeless and luxurious. Fits perfectly with exhausts, BBQs, stoves and fireplaces.
- Silver/Aluminum: Gives an industrial look, ideal for engine blocks or machine parts.
- Anthracite gray: Tough look for stoves or BBQs.
- White: Sleek and modern, already a bit more susceptible to discoloration.
- Red or orange: For those who are daring and like accents.
Please note that not every color can withstand the same temperature. Always check the maximum temperature resistance of the chosen color.
How to use heat resistant spray paint step by step
For good and lasting results, preparation is essential. Follow this step-by-step plan for the best effect:
- Clean the surface: Make sure it is grease-free, dry and dust-free. Use an appropriate degreaser and lightly sand the surface.
- Cover the area: Tape off everything you don't want to spray with. Are you working close to other parts? Then use washi tape.
- Shake the spray can thoroughly: Shake for at least 2 minutes. This will mix pigments well and prevent clogging or staining.
- Spray in thin layers: Keep 20 to 30cm away and apply several thin layers instead of one thick one. Let dry for 5 to 10 minutes in between.
- Let the lacquer cure thoroughly: Some lacquers dry by air, others need to be burned in. For example, by running the engine or using the BBQ. Always check the product's instructions for use.
Tip: Test the spray can on a sample piece first. That way you can learn how the paint behaves before you start your real project.
