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

Overview

The Rust-Oleum High Heat Spray Paint in Clear delivers a durable ceramic coating for metal surfaces that regularly face high temperatures. The clear finish keeps the natural look of metal while adding a protective layer designed to resist heat, weathering, and common automotive exposure. This spray is formulated to help maintain a clean, refreshed appearance on hot-vehicle components without adding color or tint.

Key benefits

• Ceramic coating for a tough, protective layer
• Resists heat up to 2,000°F (1,093°C) for hot components
• Gas and oil resistant to help reduce staining and grime buildup
• No Peel Promise for a durable, long-lasting finish
• Adhesion Guarantee designed to help the coating stick to metal substrates

Who should consider this

Ideal for automotive setups where metal parts are exposed to heat and oil, such as exhaust paths, engine bays, and heat shields. It’s a sensible option for DIY projects, restoration work, or quick refreshes where a clear, heat-tolerant finish is desired without altering the appearance.

Real-world uses

• Exhaust tips, pipes, and mufflers needing a protective, heat-resistant layer
• Headers, manifolds, and under-hood heat shields for a durable clear coating
• Metal brackets and supports that encounter heat or oil exposure

Application tips

1. Shake well before use and ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of rust or grease.
2. Apply in light, even coats from an appropriate distance (as directed on the label).
3. Allow each coat to dry before applying additional layers for a smooth, even finish.
4. Finish with a final coat to achieve the desired protective thickness; let cure fully per label directions.

Care and storage

Store upright in a cool, dry place. Use as directed and avoid exposing freshly painted surfaces to elements until fully cured for best results.
