I painted some engine cylinders and heads with VHT engine paint back in the late '70s. About ten years ago I wanted to repaint them. I couldn't get anything to touch that stuff, including straight methylene chloride. It was so baked on it seemed more like ceramic than paint. Luckily the machine shop that bored the cylinders bead blasted the paint off the three cylinders and three heads for something silly like $30. I used VHT to repaint them, but I have doubts as to whether it was the same stuff 30 years later.
