ZyCoat High Temperature Coating Midnight Black 4 Ounce Satin Paint

Description

Product Overview

ZyCoat ZyBar 11004 is a high‑temperature, modified polymer coating designed for demanding automotive applications. Available in a 4 ounce (16 fl oz) satin‑finish bottle, the Midnight Black formula combines rust resistance with exceptional heat tolerance—rated to over 2100 °F ambient and 1600 °F substrate temperatures. Its polymer base provides a hard, ceramic‑like surface (7.9 pencil scale) while maintaining flexibility for thermal expansion. The coating offers excellent coverage based on film thickness and bonds to itself for easy touch‑up work.

Usage

This coating is ideal for all metal surfaces exposed to extreme heat, such as exhaust manifolds, turbochargers, headers, and engine brackets. It performs best when applied to clean, degreased metal, and can be used on both new and pre‑treated parts. The fast cure time allows work on the engine within minutes after shutdown, making it suitable for professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts alike. Its salt‑spray resistance (over 600 hours) ensures longevity in harsh environments.
