POR-15 High Temperature Paint, High Heat Resistant Paint, Weather and Moisture Resistant, 8 Fluid Ounces, Flat Black

Results exceeded expectations. After using spray-on header paint for a few years, only to have rust return, I'm giving this product a try. It looks great but so did the other products after a month. The brush-on flows and covers well, lays down smoothly and has an even appearance. It is much easier to control in tight spaces than the aerosol cans. A little goes a long way. Did my V-8 Jeep headers with two coats and didn't even use a quarter of the can. It does give off a 'cooked paint' smell for about a week afterwards so don't be surprised.

I have used this product to paint both the intake and exhaust manifolds and look amazingly well and durable.

I used this to paint an Exhaust and Intake manifold on a 81 CJ5. I had to replace the manifold gaskets, so I took the opportunity to clean up and paint the manifolds. It took only 1/4 of the small 4oz can to paint the manifolds with two coats. I waited 24 hours and installed back on the jeep. There was some smoke for about 30 seconds and then manifolds were back to normal. I've put around 150 miles on the jeep since painting and the manifolds look great. I read so many posts about POR-15 being a single can use and done. If you clean the top of the can well the lid will not seize to the can. I've since reused the paint on another project and I'm down to 2 oz remaining and its as fresh as the first day I got it. Clean up and properly secure and this will last till its gone. To keep the rim of the can clean I recommend putting some blue painters tape around the seal during use and remove and clean up the top before securing the lid. I'm so comfortable that this can be reused with proper care that I plan to buy a gallon can on my next purchase.

POR-15 High Temperature Paint, High Heat Resistant Paint, Weather and Moisture ResistantPOR15 advertisements used to be to the point. Seals against rust, apply to clean prepared surface, needs a top coat to prevent weather erosion. etc.I thought I was buying the same product but this one seems different, and very little information on if it is the same as the original POR15 I have used in the past.So whatever it is I bought, it went on ok, used a brush to coat some metal that was prepped and painted with POR15. It seems ok. Time will tell if it was successful.It still has the same qualities of drying hard, though in the past over time the POR15 tended to "soften" and would peel off. I didn't expect thatI am assuming this is the same product and as we all apply things differently, I may have done something to cause the peeling after 10 years but going soft was not expected.I WIll RECOMMEND this with caution that you research the product well before purchase.I do not know the seller nor did I get any money or product for my random review.240916 1103

goes on easy, looks great.

Works very good for me thanks 😊

Sprayed a 57 year old Austin Healey exhaust manifold with this paint following the directions perfectly. I noticed an "exhaust to tailpipe" bent stud and decided to replace it. It refused to come out while trying ALL normal methods. I finally took a torch as final effort, heated the exhaust almost cherry red, thinking I would have to repaint the whole manifold. I was able to break the bent stud loose and as I let the manifold cool, the area I got so hot, looked identical to the rest of it!!! The paint was still perfect in color, adhesion and looked perfect!! Great paint!!

If you buy this paint plan to use it within the 30 day return window. It took me longer to get around to my project and the can of paint I received was bad. I knew something was wrong when I opened the can to mix. The paint was very thick. No amount of mixing would thin it out. I have always had great performance from POR15 products so I decided to apply the paint anyway. I had never used the product before so I assumed it was supposed to be that way. Anyway I applied the product directly to coarsely sanded bare steel exhaust manifolds. The paint would not flow out leaving thick brush marks. At this point I was committed so I let them dry then cured them as directed by the product instructions. Within a few hours of use the paint began to flake off. My own fault for not using to product promptly but still Amazon or POR should step up on this. The can was clearly bad.
