I can only speak to the VHT Universal Aluminum ( part # SP-127 ) and its not turned color, peeled, blistered or failed in any way.

Chuck, I also am looking for a paint that is also fuel and chemical resistant as well. Going to try and pickup a can of the SP-127 so that I can spray a part with it to see how fuel resistant it is after baking for 20 minutes.Comment

VHT is..once its gone thru the "heat to cure" cycles as described on the can its chemical, salt, and fuel resistant. I dont think theres anything as fuel "proof" though. I can take pics and email you the label to read if youd like.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

I love vht paints myself a quick bake of smaller parts and it becomes tough as nails. I always use it for calipers and miscelanious hardware paintingComment

VHT high temp paints have ceramic in them..which when baked sets up like diamonds, well pretty dang hard anyway!! Point being its extremely durable, chemical and salt resistant, and the ceramic helps to effect heat dissipation from the metals as well. Ive been very well pleased with it.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)

Just painted a chunk of aluminum with VHT Engine Enamel. Two coats. Will let it air dry and then bake it.
Any suggestions for the test protocol? Keep wet with gas and see how long it lasts before any blistering?Ed

Lacquer thinner and brake fluid. See how long before it softens.Comment
-
Well Dale, not sure lacquer thinner is a real world test. Maybe on the brake fluid. Gasoline is a definite.Originally posted by rustybronco View Post
How about if I dunk one end in gasoline like chuck did, then move to something more harsh?
BTW, test sample is in the oven right now...Ed

How hot/how long do they say to bake the VHT?Comment
-
A couple hours at a low temp. I believe 200fComment

08rangerdan, 20 minutes at 200° F according to the label.
Ed, lacquer thinner may not be a real real world test but it will give you some sort of idea how chemical resistant it really is. Urethane holds up well to it so I would hope the VHT would offer some resistance to it as well. I would also like to know how well it does after about two weeks post cure. Other then that, maybe some harsh car wash detergent or laundry soap and a spot or two of brake fluid to see how it holds up to those.Curing Engine Enamel
VHT Engine Enamel only attains its unique properties after correct curing.
Bake at 200°F (93°C) for 20 minutes.
The inherent heat of engine operation will also accomplish curing.Comment

My can of VHT says 1 hour at 200F. Did that and now it's back in at 250F for some additional time. Want to make sure this stuff is as hard as possible.
I'll do a cross hatch adhesion test first then dunk one end in gas. Tomorrow I'll dunk the other end in lacquer thinner. Good fun.Ed

Quite impossible for me to do the test when it's hovering around 10° outside. Glad that you are doing it.
