Summary for high temperature clear coat Discussion
High temperature clear coat for aluminum is the main question here: Adam Bean asks for an off-the-shelf clear coat that will hold up on an aluminum engine valve cover. The only answer shown points to VHT Clearcoat, with the responder noting it is available on Amazon. Because the thread excerpt is very short, there is no detailed discussion of temperature limits, prep, or long-term durability, and no conflicting opinions are shown. The practical takeaway is that VHT Clearcoat is the suggested readily available option in this thread, but the excerpt does not provide performance details beyond that recommendation.
I am looking for a high temperature clear coat that will work on an aluminum engine valve cover. Something off the shelf is preferred. Anybody have any suggestions?

A. We at VHT have a high temp clear in an aerosol that you can find at most automotive performance stores, or you may purchase from us direct.

Ed. note: A search of VHT’s website does not show SP-610; are you sure of that number? SP-145 seems to be the number for gloss clearcoat.
