    Any difference in these?

    Went to the local autoparts place. You can now buy high temp paint good to 1200 degrees from:

    VHT...
    Dupont/ceramic based...
    Eastwood...
    Rustoleum?!?!?! (now has an auto paint)

    and several other brands. All cost about the same...

    Any difference? I had heard VHT was very good, but have never seen a comparison...

    Some of these paints claim they are ceramic based...some don't specify....

    Plan to use on some exhaust brackets, etc. Will sandblast and paint. Not really worth the effort to Jetcoat/etc...

    So, who has used what??? Especially interested in comments on Rustoleum :). The can says it will prevent rust on headers, etc...

    Eastwood makes some of the best stuff.

    I've used VHT on engines and heads and it works pretty well, too. But Eastwood is the best IMO.

    I always wondered if they make any of their own products. Their stuff seems to be rebadged and relabelled products...?
