Worked great on my brake caliper brackets, I did the heat treatment process by wrapping them in foil and putting them over a fire, worked good.

I’ve used a few high-heat paints before, but Rust-Oleum’s 248903 is by far the best quality spray paint I’ve found for automotive parts. I used it on my exhaust manifold, and it handled the intense heat like a champ—no peeling, cracking, or fading even after weeks of heavy use. The finish is smooth and professional-looking, with a rich flat black that doesn’t look cheap or flaky. Application was easy, too—the spray came out evenly with no annoying drips or clumps, which can be a problem with lesser brands. What really impressed me is how durable the coating feels. This isn’t just paint; it’s like a tough ceramic shield that keeps my parts protected from heat, oil, and grime. It definitely gives me peace of mind knowing my engine components are covered by something that can really take the heat. If you want a high-heat paint that delivers on quality and longevity, this Rust-Oleum is worth every penny.

I applied Rust-Oleum 248903 Automotive High Heat spray to the brake discs of my car. The paint was easy to use and gave a nice, even black matte finish. It dried quickly and adhered well to thoroughly cleaned metal. After several weeks, the treated areas remain rust-free despite exposure to heat, moisture, and road conditions. Rust Oleum hight heat is great for protecting and improving the appearance of brake discs on non-contact surfaces. It resists high temperatures and maintains its protective and aesthetic qualities

It doesn't dry black. It dries a dark gray. It darkens slightly after heating, but never achieves actual black. Think more charcoal. Attempting to get a reasonable reply after asking a question to anything remotely automotive or decorative when it comes to maintenance or rugged use on here is really rough. A question asking about the actual drying color of the paint got back immediate replies stating it to be black, and not answering my question. Thought this might help.. It isn't a bad color, but not quite what I needed, as I was trying to color match some motorcycle pipes that already had older paint on them.. Which is admittedly a tough call. This isn't too far off, as that paint has too grayed a little. Paint adhesion after heating seems actually pretty good. Better than I was expecting considering some of the reviews saying how delicate it is. Nozzle semi-blocked permanently for second use, causing drips. Thinner wouldn't move it.. Next time, I'll remove the nozzle between sprays and put it straight into thinner. Used effectively to spray a chimney cap to hopefully make it less interesting to birds than the bright steel surface. Cleaned and lightly scuffed, and cleaned the surface again.. The end result was a really very nice matte finish. Again, nowhere near black. A charcoal dark gray. The stuff dries incredibly fast. When applied to a larger surface I can see how the paint rubs off more than the small test piece I did. It's going to bake to all hell on the roof, so I imagine it'll get a good chance to cure. Might follow up with some pictures next spring of how it's fairing.

Used to paint the rust on my 2004 Polaris Sportsman 700 EFI exhaust system. So far the paint is holding up well. No rust has returned. Recommend

I used this on badly discolored oven racks. I checked with Rufus before I bought it. I cleaned them with foaming degreaser first, applied 2 coats of paint & after 3 hours, cured them in the oven as per the instructions. They turned out beautifully. I am very pleased with how well this worked. No more ugly discolored racks!

I have a gas fireplace and after 20 yrs, on the inner frame around the glass, the paint started to peel. Looked bad, wife mad. So did a lot of looking to try and match the paint color and ended up with this paint. Mistake, this paint is flat and my fireplace has a low/medium smooth finish not flat but not glossy. That is what I would have done different is try to find a low or medium glass instead of flat. When I stripped the paint on that frame I seen the manufacturer did not prep the surface, it had a vary smooth steel finish. I wondered how the original paint did not peel up sooner. I sand blasted the frame with coarse media, so the new paint would stick and sprayed on 2 medium coats. Looks great aside from the vary slight difference in finish and the color is not a perfect match. This paint being flat and the paint on the fireplace having a smooth low gloss finish. The difference is noticeable but does not look bad. Wife happy, life is back to being good.. lol. Of course it is holding up well so far, only a month and handling the heat of the fireplace so far, but I can not comment on longevity or endurance. I'll update this review in 20 yrs.
