Frequently Asked Questions
What Makes XTC Different From Ordinary Paint?
XTC Xtreme Temperature Coating withstands continuous temperatures up to 1500°F (1200°F for aerosols) without peeling, flaking, or chalking, and is guaranteed not to burn off. XTC dries to the touch in about 25 minutes at 70°F, reduces underhood and exhaust manifold surface temperatures, and can improve exhaust gas velocity.
How Much XTC Do You Need?
XTC covers a theoretical 360 to 400 square feet per gallon at 1 mil, and the recommended film build is two thin coats of 1.0 to 2.0 mils each. One 8oz container coats a set of shorty headers or three sets of manifolds in two coats; a pint handles full-size headers or a complete exhaust system. Container SizeCoverage (Single Coat) Aerosol (12oz)10-15 sq. ft. 8oz20-25 sq. ft. Pint (16oz)40-50 sq. ft.
How Do You Apply and Cure XTC?
XTC is applied in four steps: prep bare metal by sandblasting or 60-80 grit sanding, degrease with KBS Klean mixed 10:1, apply two thin coats of 1.0 to 2.0 mils each with 1 to 2 hours between coats, then heat cure at 350°F for 20 to 30 minutes after an 8 hour flash-off.
