VHT Engine Metallic Spray Paint — Flat Gold Flake 11 oz, High-Heat & Chemical-Resistant Finish

VHT Engine Metallic Flat Gold Flake is an 11 oz high-temperature, chemical-resistant aerosol paint formulated to give engine parts a durable, sparkly gold finish that withstands heat and harsh chemicals.

Designed for automotive engines and driveline components, this spray combines urethane and ceramic resins to deliver long-lasting protection and a metallic look. It resists corrosion, salt spray, gasoline additives and common degreasers, and it endures intermittent temperatures up to 650°F (343°C). Use as part of a complete VHT engine coating system—primer, color, and clear—for best performance.

How does this paint hold up to high temperatures and engine use?

The formulation contains heat-resistant components that tolerate intermittent exposure up to 650°F, making it suitable for many hot engine surfaces. Proper curing—either by running the engine to normal operating temperature or baking parts at about 200°F—helps the coating reach its intended durability.

• Rated intermittent temperature resistance: up to 650°F (343°C)
• Urethane and ceramic resin blend for heat stability
• Cures with engine heat or by controlled baking
• Dries to the touch in ~30 minutes; cures overnight

Can I use this on all engine and drivetrain parts?

This aerosol is formulated for many under-hood and driveline components where high heat and chemical exposure are expected. Common applications include headers, valve covers, blocks, starters, transmissions, pumps and brackets, but avoid surfaces that routinely exceed intermittent temperature limits.

• Ideal for headers, valve covers, engine blocks, starters
• Suitable for transmissions, differential covers, water pumps
• Not recommended for parts exceeding stated temperature rating
• Works best when used over VHT engine primer and finished with engine clear

How resistant is the finish to chemicals, salt, and gasoline additives?

The paint resists corrosion and common chemical exposures encountered in automotive environments, including salt spray and many gasoline or additive contaminants. Its chemical resistance makes it practical for parts exposed to road salts, fuels, oils, and cleaning solvents, although highly aggressive chemicals can still affect any coating over time.

• Formulated to stand up to salt spray and corrosion
• Resistant to gasoline blends and many degreasers
• Part of VHT’s multi-coat system for added protection
• Durability improves when proper curing instructions are followed

Who is this for? VHT Engine Metallic Flat Gold Flake (11 oz) is aimed at car enthusiasts, mechanics, restorers and DIYers who want a decorative yet functional metallic finish on engine and drivetrain parts. Choose this product if you need a spray that combines an eye-catching gold flake appearance with heat and chemical resistance—especially when used as part of VHT’s primer-color-clear engine coating system for best longevity.
