Seymour Hot Spot Black High-Heat Spray Paint Product Details
Seymour builds tough, reliable products that are easy to use. When ordinary paint can’t handle the heat, you can trust Hot Spot Black High-Heat Spray Paint to deliver the protection you need and the sleek finish you want.
Hot Spot is engineered for grueling temperatures and hard use. A silicone resin system forms a porcelain‑like bond under heat, so the finish stands up to 1200°F continuously. It resists peeling, blistering, discoloration, and loss of adhesion, even through repeated heat cycles.
Use it direct-to-metal with no primer on headers, manifolds, mufflers, grills, fireplaces, and more. This flat Black enamel delivers excellent color retention and protection. It comes in multiple other colors to match the look of the surface you’re fortifying.
Turn up the heat without risking your finish! Choose Seymour Hot Spot for an attractive, protective finish with the easy, consistent application only an aerosol spray can give you.
1200°F Heat-Resistant Spray Paint!
High heat discolors ordinary paint and causes blistering and flaking. Hot Spot is engineered to hold up under extreme circumstances. In fact, it thrives.
After a proper heat cure, this heat-resistant enamel coating can withstand continuous temperatures of up to 1200°F (648°C). You get dependable protection where other finishes fail.
To reach maximum durability, heat‑cure Hot Spot at 400°F for 2 hours. Then, put it to work on engines, turbo housings, exhaust manifolds, grills, fireplaces, and furnace components.

Superior Strength. Excellent Durability & Resistance.
Heat, temperature swings, and exposure to fuels and oils can be tough on coatings. Our high-heat spray paint solves that with a silicone enamel that heat‑cures into a hard, ceramic‑like film. The result is durability you can see: excellent color retention, strong abrasion resistance, gasoline and oil resistance, and corrosion protection that helps these metal surfaces last.
Hard‑working parts need a hard‑working coating. Hot Spot looks good longer and protects what is underneath.
Easy Direct-to-Metal Application
The genius of an aerosol spray is that it provides easy, consistent, and even coverage. Since it’s Seymour, it’s also engineered to last.
Hot Spot Black High-Heat Spray Paint is powerful protection without a complicated process. It sprays on smooth and sleek, goes direct-to-metal with no primer, and dries to the touch in about 20 minutes. After a heat cure at 400°F for 2 hours, the silicone resin forms a hard, porcelain-like film that grips the surface and stands up to extreme heat.
The payoff is simple: fast, consistent application from a convenient aerosol can, strong protection, attractive finish, and coverage up to 15 square feet per 12-oz can, so you can do more with less.
Quality, convenience, affordability: with Seymour, you get it all.
Won’t Peel, Blister, Discolor, or Lose Adhesion
High heat and rapid cycles make typical paints lift, bubble, and fade. Our Black heat-resistant enamel spray doesn’t have that problem.
When heated, the silicone enamel locks onto the surface. After a proper cure, it resists peeling, blistering, and discoloration, even through repeated heat cycles. So you get the sleek, uniform finish you want for longer.

Upvote if this was helpful (0) Downvote if this was not helpful (0) Flag for removal
Answer
Seymour Paint –
The High Temperature Series (Hot Spot) was designed for the application to steel substrates, not aluminum. Not sure what the adhesion would be like on aluminum. We have not tested this product submersed in water. In either case, we would NOT recommend the 16-2668 for this application.

Can the product be used on a kitchen cabinet to protect it from toaster oven heat?
Upvote if this was helpful (0) Downvote if this was not helpful (0) Flag for removal
Answer
Seymour Paint –
The paint doesn’t act as an insulator. So, while the paint will resist the heat it won’t protect the substrate from the effects of heat if that makes sense.

Does the heat curing process give off hazardois fumes. I have an old oven I use for curing powder coating, so that should work, right?
Upvote if this was helpful (0) Downvote if this was not helpful (0) Flag for removal
Answer
Seymour Paint –
If you let the paint dry so you can handle the object, there would be next to no solvents remaining in the coating that would outgas during the baking process. You don’t necessarily need to bake it as the paint will cure on its own (2-3 days in warm weather), but baking accelerates the process.

Francine –
Can I use this paint on the inside of my fireplace? It’s a regular fireplace with chimney and some sort of stone or brick floor, back and sides. The fireplace was converted to natural gas but there is not any kind of metal insert. There is a burner pan, sand, lava rock, embers, and vented gas logs on a raised grate so no flames should touch the paint. Will this work for this application and if not, do you have something that will?
Thanks!
