Dupli-Color Metalcast Anodized Spray Paint Yellow Anodized — 11 oz, High‑Gloss Heat & Oil Resistant

Dupli-Color Metalcast MC202 is an 11 oz aerosol anodized-style spray paint that adds a transparent, high-gloss yellow metallic finish to chrome and bare metal while resisting oil, gas and intermittent heat up to 500°F.

Designed for vehicle trim, accessories and engine-bay components, this Metalcast formulation delivers an anodized look in a single-step spray. It bonds to properly prepared shiny metal and faux chrome surfaces and dries quickly for fast turnaround. The EZ Touch Fan Spray nozzle helps lay down even coverage, and the enamel formula produces a durable finish suitable for interior and exterior automotive use.

How do I use Metalcast MC202 to get an anodized yellow finish?

Preparation is key: clean, de-grease and scuff chrome or bare metal surfaces before spraying. Shake the can thoroughly, apply light coats from the recommended distance, and allow proper flash times—this prevents runs and builds the transparent color effect.

• Clean surface with wax-and-grease remover.
• Lightly sand or scuff chrome for adhesion; prime non-metal with Metalcast 100 ground coat.
• Shake can 1–2 minutes after mixing ball moves freely; spray 2–3 light coats 8–12 inches away.
• Allow 30 minutes to touch dry and about 1 hour for handling between coats.

Will this paint withstand heat, oil and gasoline around the engine?

Yes — the Metalcast enamel is formulated for intermittent heat resistance up to 500°F and shows strong resistance to oil and gasoline, making it suitable for many under-hood and exterior applications. For continuous high-temperature exposures, test on a small area first.

• Intermittent heat tolerance up to 500°F.
• Resists oil and gasoline splashes commonly found in engine bays.
• High-gloss enamel finish holds up to light mechanical wear and weathering.

Which surfaces are compatible, and do I need a primer?

Metalcast is optimized for shiny bare metal and chrome-like substrates; it adheres best after proper surface prep. If you plan to apply the anodized look to non-metal or previously painted parts, use the Metalcast 100 ground coat primer for adhesion and heat resistance.

• Works directly on properly prepared chrome, bare aluminum, and plated parts.
• Prime painted or plastic parts with Metalcast 100 primer (sold separately).
• Not recommended without primer on porous or heavily oxidized surfaces.

How fast does it dry and when can I handle or reassemble parts?

Metalcast MC202 dries rapidly: it’s typically touch dry in about 30 minutes and can be handled after approximately 1 hour under normal conditions. Full cure will take longer depending on coat thickness and ambient conditions; avoid heavy use until fully cured for best durability.

• Touch dry roughly 30 minutes at standard temperature.
• Handleable after about 1 hour; allow extended cure for parts exposed to friction or constant heat.
• Store and cure in a dust-free area to preserve high-gloss appearance.

Who is this for: Dupli-Color Metalcast MC202 is aimed at automotive enthusiasts, detailers and DIYers who want a vibrant anodized yellow appearance on chrome trim, engine components and accessories without complex plating processes. It suits owners of cars, trucks, ATVs and UTVs who need a fast-drying, high-heat-resistant finish for both show and light-duty functional parts. If you require a true aerospace-grade or continuously high-temperature coating, consult technical datasheets and test in your specific application.
