AlumiBlast goes to 250F continuous. If you need more heat resistance, recommend 16-1201 aluminum in our HotSpot brand. It goes to 1200F.

Upvote if this was helpful (0) Downvote if this was not helpful (0) Flag for removal
Answer
Seymour Paint (verified owner) –
It’s the primer—use the PBE self-etch primer. After that you can topcoat with any paint of your choice. The HiTech, MRO, and Big Rig brands are great if you want a color. If you want a metallic silver, EN-71 dull aluminum would be a good option.

Short of sandblasting, how clean does the surface need to be? Casting is to rough to smooth out so I guess I’ll paint it.
Upvote if this was helpful (0) Downvote if this was not helpful (0) Flag for removal
Answer
Seymour Paint –
Clean the surface and remove all dirt, debris, and/or grease. Lightly sand the surface with fine grit sandpaper. It’s important to create a rough texture for better adhesion.
