POR-15 44316 Aluminum High Temperature Paint - 8 fl. oz.

Results exceeded expectations. After using spray-on header paint for a few years, only to have rust return, I'm giving this product a try. It looks great but so did the other products after a month. The brush-on flows and covers well, lays down smoothly and has an even appearance. It is much easier to control in tight spaces than the aerosol cans. A little goes a long way. Did my V-8 Jeep headers with two coats and didn't even use a quarter of the can. It does give off a 'cooked paint' smell for about a week afterwards so don't be surprised.

It sticks to rust like crazy, I wouldn’t personally use it on anything but rust as por seem to prefer to stick to rust, then it does to even clean metal. So let your turbo or manifold patiena a little and then paint

After going through 3 cans in the last year, I feel I can give some valuable info on this stuff. First, this is NOT like normal Por15. It likes the same conditions, but does not have the same tolerances. This coating does not tolerate rust or loose paint or ANY adulterant on a surface like regular Por15 does. In use, the only time its failed is when I didn't heat cure the part in an oven. So very methodical prep and cure is required. The can says nothing about metal prep, but I highly suggest you use it. If you don't, it has a tendency to flake after a while. If you dont and just slap it on an engine or whatever you are coating a part for, 2 out of 3 times it will fail. Ive had really good successes with this, and each time I completely de-rusted the part, cleaned it with vinegar, then degreaser, then their metal prep (zinc coating) before I even laid down the first coat. Then one coat per 24 hours like the can says. THEN 400 degrees at 30 minutes at least once. After the first coat is layed down and "dries" it will feel waxy and rub off on your hands a little. This goes away after its properly cured. If it bubbles, it was put on too thick or you installed it too soon in the curing process, and its outgassing. Its best for exhaust manifolds, and grills where you can cure it with high and steady ambient heat. It knows what it wants and it expects to receive it. Done properly its pretty hard and somewhat hard to chip. As said above however, its nowhere near as chip resistant or hard as regular Por15. I gave it 4 stars because its a good product, but way too finicky. Ive attached the a pic of the last manifolds I did. They're still holding up great using the method above. I hope Ive taken some of the mystery out of this stuff for people.

I used this to freshen up my aluminum turbo heatshield. It spread evenly and covered great with one coat.
