This stunning metallic finish paint isn’t just about the look— it’s about delivering durability and performance that lasts. At Central Alberta Paint and Supply, we carry top-tier options like VHT® Engine Metallic™ Paint to help make your car stand out while preserving the functionality of your engine bay. Let’s dive into why burnt copper paint is such a must-have for car enthusiasts.
Why Choose VHT® Burnt Copper Paint?
When customizing your ride, you need paint that performs as well as it looks. VHT’s Engine Metallic™ Paint is designed for high-temperature, high-performance applications, ensuring your car’s under-hood areas shine while staying tough. Here’s what sets this paint apart:
1. Heat Resistance Like No Other
VHT® Engine Metallic™ Paint is formulated to withstand intermittent temperatures of up to 650°F (343°C). That makes it perfect for engine blocks, exhaust manifolds, brake calipers, and other areas that face extreme heat. You can trust that your burnt copper finish will stay vibrant over time, even under the most demanding conditions.
2. Durable, Long-Lasting Finish
This paint’s unique blend of urethane and ceramic resins creates a finish that resists cracking, peeling, and flaking no matter where you apply it. Whether you’re dressing up your engine or painting under-hood accessories, you’ll get a tough, resilient layer that resists wear and tear.
3. Eye-Catching Metallic Sparkle
The burnt copper colour of these paint products isn’t just functional— it’s a show-stopper that’s hard to ignore. The aluminum metallic satin finish delivers a sleek, professional look that’s sure to turn heads, whether you’re at a car meet or simply popping the hood to show off the goods.
4. Chemical and Oil Resistance
Let’s face it: cars are messy by nature. Between oil, coolant, and other automotive fluids, your under-hood components face a lot of abuse. Fortunately, VHT® Engine Metallic™ Paint is formulated to resist these elements, keeping your vehicle trim looking sharp no matter what.
5. Easy Application for Fast Results
With its EZ Touch® conical nozzle, applying VHT® Engine Metallic™ Paint is straightforward and mess-free. Plus, the paint dries to the touch in just 30 minutes and can be handled within an hour, making it an easy-to-use, efficient choice for DIY projects or professional applications.
How to Best Use Burnt Copper Paint
To get the best results out of any paint product, always prep your surface properly. Clean the area thoroughly to remove grease, dirt, and rust with a suitable product. Shake the paint can vigorously for at least one minute, then apply light, even coats in a sweeping motion, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. Once the paint is fully cured, you’ll have a dazzling, durable finish that can handle the heat no matter what you paint or where you take your car!
