SPECIALTY HIGH HEA T
DESCRIPTION AND USES
High Heat is designed to renew and protect metal surfaces
subject to heat up to 1000°F (538°C). This durable semi-gloss
finish retains excellent gloss and color retention after repea ted
heating. High Heat sprays withstand temperatures up to 1200ºF
(648ºC). Ideal for the exterior of barbeque grills, wood stoves,
radiators, fire pits, fireplace screens, automotive parts, and
more.
PAINTING CONDITIONS
Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area such as an open
garage. Use when temperature is between 50ºF (10ºC) and
90ºF (32ºC) and humidity is below 85% to ensure proper
drying. Priming is not recommended. Do not use on metal
directly exposed to open flame or in direct contact with food,
such as a grill grate. If using sprays, avoid application in ver y
windy and dusty conditions. Cover surrounding area to protect
from spray mist.

by washing the surface with a commercial detergent, or other
suitable cleaning method. Rinse with fresh water and allow to
thoroughly dry. Remove loose paint and rust with a wire brush
or sandpaper. Previously coated surfaces must be sound and
in good condition. Smooth, hard, or glossy finishes should be
scarified by sanding to create a surface profile. Removal of
old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may genera te
dust or fumes that contain lead. LEAD IS TOXIC. Contact the
