VHT ESP121007 Engine Enamel Universal Bright Red Can - 11 oz

As described

We paint all our tenant mailboxes red. So many people recommended we use engine enamel for heat resistance because the boxes must be repainted every few years and they supposedly had good results of their own. Maybe it’s the brand, and, yes, I know a metal mailbox and engine block are not the same, but I would expect this to hold up more than a year. The color began to fade almost immediately and now we have vermillion mailboxes next to bright red ones painted at the same time. These will be stripped back down - it won’t take much! - and painted with far less expensive and better wearing paint.

It matches old red farm equipment well enough, like my gravely 2 wheel tractor, and 2000 Ford f350.

I was looking for a high temperature bright red spray paint. This product was perfect to paint my catalytic converter (CC) as a theft deterrent. In my area, there has been a rash of stolen catalytic converters from vehicles. I painted my CC in red paint and used white bold letters for the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)!

This paint is heavy and has a nice gloss to it. I'm sure that it will hold up well but be warned the color of the paint doesn't match the cap very well. It's not a big deal for me because this is going on a 26 year old truck but I might be disappointed if I was restoring a nice vehicle. Still worth five stars to me but I thought you might want to know.
