when i was at K&S last month i saw this spray, i dont remember the name of it but it was a can with flames on it and it said it protects heat up to 2000 degrees. i was wondering is this any good?

or is it that it just wonr crack/burn up untill 2000

actually come to think of it i think it was VHT

it wont flake off if you apply it properly on a properly prepped surface and then you prebake it right like it says

i had the stuff ona manifold and it was insane how much it stuck, but my headers started to tarnish through the paint almost spotted

any coating, including paint, alters a materials specific heat holding capacity
