VHT Flameproof High-Temp Coating — Aluminum Flat Spray, 2000°F Heat-Resistant Matte Finish

VHT Flameproof Coating in Aluminum Flat is a silicone-ceramic high-temperature spray designed to protect and renew metal surfaces exposed to extreme heat up to 2000°F (1093°C).

Built for performance environments, this matte-finish coating from VHT is formulated to withstand intermittent ultra-high temperatures and restore the look and function of exhaust components, headers, mufflers and similar parts. Its ceramic-silicone blend adheres to metal substrates and provides a durable, heat-resistant surface that automotive and aerospace professionals commonly select where elevated temperature protection and a flat aluminum appearance are desired.

How does this coating perform on exhaust systems and headers?

The VHT Flameproof formula resists blistering, flaking and discoloration under extreme, intermittent heat cycles typical of performance exhausts. It creates a stable matte surface that helps preserve the underlying metal while maintaining a consistent appearance after repeated heating.

• Intermittent heat tolerance to approximately 2000°F (1093°C)
• Matte aluminum finish for a factory or race-inspired look
• Bonding optimized for bare and mildly oxidized metal surfaces

What surfaces and applications are appropriate for this spray?

Designed for metal components exposed to high temperatures, this coating is commonly used on headers, exhaust pipes, manifolds and other vehicle parts where heat protection is critical. It’s also specified for industrial and aerospace items that require thermal durability and a thin, protective ceramic-rich layer.

• Automotive exhaust systems, headers and manifolds
• High-temperature industrial parts and heat shields
• Aerospace-type applications where a matte aluminum finish is needed

What surface preparation and application steps should I follow?

Proper prep is essential for adhesion and longevity: clean, degrease and remove loose rust or scale before spraying. Apply multiple light coats, allowing recommended flash times between passes, and follow any curing instructions from VHT for best heat-cycle performance.

• Degrease and abrade the surface for mechanical keying
• Apply thin, even coats rather than heavy single passes
• Observe flash/dry times and manufacturer curing guidelines

Who is this for: VHT Flameproof Coating — Aluminum Flat is intended for mechanics, fabricators, race teams and skilled DIYers who need a purpose-built, heat-resistant finish for high-temperature metal parts. If you work with performance exhaust systems, restorations involving heat-exposed components, or specialized industrial applications that demand a matte aluminum appearance plus extreme heat tolerance, this product offers a professional-grade option made in the United States.

Note: Follow all safety, surface prep and application directions provided by the manufacturer. Performance depends on correct preparation, application and service conditions.
