XTC - High Temperature Paint - Header Paint - Stove Paint - Grill Paint - BBQ Paint

XTC Overview

XTC is a high temperature and heat resistant coating formulated specifically to protect metal surfaces operating at temperatures from 500°F to 1500°F.

With proper preparation, XTC provides outstanding adhesion, film integrity, weathering, and thermal shock-resistance throughout this entire temperature range, and is guaranteed not to burn off!

XTC is ideal for exterior applications. XTC is UV stable, does not chalk or fade, and resists rust when primed with XTC Primer. XTC Primer provides the rust protection.

QUESTIONS & TIPS:

Q. Do I need to sandblast?
A. No, while a sandblasted surface is ideal for cleaning & providing an ideal anchor pattern or coating adhesion, wire brushing and/or abrasive sanding with 60-80 grit sandpaper will work well also.

Q. How many coats of XTC do I really need?
A. This all depends on the coarseness of the surface profile. The coarser the surface profile, the more thin coats needed. We recommend a minimum of two coats of XTC or one coat of XTC Primer and one coat of XTC (color of your choice). Apply enough thin coats of XTC Primer and XTC to cover the surface adequately. Do not over-apply coats.

Q. Do I need to heat the surface before painting?
A. No, the surface should be at room temperature 50-82°F during application. Do not apply to a hot surface.

Q. Do I need to heat cure after application?
A. Yes, while the surface will dry to the touch within 1/2-1 hour, the coating will not reach it's full cure until it reaches approximately 350°F.

Q. Do I need to temperature cure between coats?
A. No, heat curing between coats is not necessary. In addition, heat curing will not hinder subsequent coats of XTC.

Q. If I temperature cured my piece already, can I apply another coat of XTC?
A. Heat curing will not hinder subsequent coats of XTC.

Q. Is XTC Primer required for adhesion?
A. No, XTC Primer is NOT required for adhesion. XTC will adhere incredibly well to a prepped surface. XTC Primer provides rust protection and hide. XTC Primer should be used when rust protection or hide is desired.

Q. Does XTC Primer have to be coated over with XTC or can XTC Primer be left at the finish coat?
A. XTC Primer can absolutely be left as a finish coat and does NOT have to be coated over.
