It's very good if you do it right.

Spectra was the manufacturer of the stuff I used.

It does need care and can only be applied to bare metal from what I recall. Also you can only give one heavy coat, it cannot be over coated so if you dangler it up it means stripping back down and doing again. Its very hard when fully dry, which doesn't take long, but as a result can chip. I actually think it's a superb finish. Can't recall what the performance should be like on hot parts as I only did a set of speaker stands

My Pinto cam cover has it. Now done 17000. Good as new and it gets very hot under the bonnet. .

Thanks a lot for your feedback !

 

 I'll see if the local powdercoating shop can do such a job, if not I'll default to VHT wrinkle plus, on a sunny day...

Well, it was intended to go there ->

 

But I think the "post editor saved to session" + too many opened tabs had me in full thread excavation mode...

 

(and not for the first time)

Just found this myself as am looking to use this stuff on my new engine cam cover, a guy on IG recommended - looks awesome when done right 😍

Yep, available in a few other colours, too.
