Rust-Oleum 260771 Automotive High Heat Spray Paint, 11 oz, Clear

I’ve used a few high-heat paints before, but Rust-Oleum’s 248903 is by far the best quality spray paint I’ve found for automotive parts. I used it on my exhaust manifold, and it handled the intense heat like a champ—no peeling, cracking, or fading even after weeks of heavy use.The finish is smooth and professional-looking, with a rich flat black that doesn’t look cheap or flaky. Application was easy, too—the spray came out evenly with no annoying drips or clumps, which can be a problem with lesser brands.What really impressed me is how durable the coating feels. This isn’t just paint; it’s like a tough ceramic shield that keeps my parts protected from heat, oil, and grime. It definitely gives me peace of mind knowing my engine components are covered by something that can really take the heat.If you want a high-heat paint that delivers on quality and longevity, this Rust-Oleum is worth every penny.

I shaved off my heating poles and used this paint worked great with no problem

Good paint

Good coverage and adhesion !

Used black in combination with same brand of primer. Painted my exhaust black bc it looked like crap the steel metal rust color.

Excellent product. I used it for a powder coating oven I built and the paint held up to the high temperatures.

Genuinely impressed with this stuff.Dries fast, presents a clean and professional Matte surface, very uniform.Coated the exterior of my Forge after minimal prep work with a wire-wheel (didn’t take a before picture, apologies). After about 5mins of drying time I cranked the forge to my maximum working temperature (~2700F at the core) and held for 30mins with high ventilation, expecting to burn off any fumes now instead of when I’m working.To my surprise no fumes burned off. There was one or two spots that got a bit too hot (to be expected when cranking a double burner forge without end-caps) but the paint just slightly shined up and appears wet (but isn’t), no burning, discoloration or bubbling.Highly impressed with this stuff. 10/10.

This product is a fantastic find! It's reasonably priced, making it accessible for most budgets without compromising on quality. The product is exactly as described, and its usefulness cannot be overstated. I've found it to be incredibly practical and efficient in meeting my needs. The attention to detail is impressive, and the performance is on par with more expensive alternatives. If you're looking for something reliable, well-made, and at a fair price point, this is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!
