Review: Good on engines - When you want an above average job, VHT is the way to go. It’s not the absolute best but it’s definitely gives top results from a rattle can. Very happy with this product. I use the primer first the paint second and the clear third always great results.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can i use this on my brake calipers**
A: Yes. I've used it on my brake calipers and it works great. Depending on how much you drive you may have to touch it up to keep it bright every so often but that's going to happen regardless of what paint you use because brake dust, etc. I use this because its high temperature.

**Q: Is it OK to use a gray primer and then use a hot pink paint over top of the gray**
A: Primer of any kind will be good for a nice finish for whatever you are painting. I recommend 3 light coats of primer lightly sanded in between. When getting ready to apply you engine paint, beware, this is thick paint. It has heavy particulate matter which is the paint. I recommend that you turn the paint can upside down for 3 to 4 hours. This paint settles heavily. After several hours upside down, shake violently to get it mixed well. After that don't spray too close to  your target surface.  Do not spray at any temp less than 72 degrees fahrenheit, and spray evenly side to side about 5 to 6 inches, from surface.

**Q: Has anyone had luck with the VHT clear coat enamel? Does it last and resist chemicals?**
A: Hey Josh, Pretty much like any other Clear Coat. It does work. Should re spray a couple of coats. It will last for awhile,depending how it's used!!   Hope this helps!   {wolfman}

**Q: Is the gold one a glossy finish?**
A: yes it is..

After priming with the flat white primer it looked pretty good painted blue but the cooler air temperature messes with the drying of the blue paint but it still came out ok i done touch ups after reinstalling the muffler and baked the paint on but the cool air messed it up good so both mower muffler and that scooter muffler the paints color changed after idling for a period of time but i knew it would happen in thr cold air and so I'll redo it next year its needing a shade darker of that blue
