VHT claims that if you apply their paint in accordance with their directions it in fact does convert to a ceramic-like coating. An aside tip. DO NOT use their high temperature primer. I did this past spring and the paint peeled off. VHT refunded my purchase price. VHT has never peeled on me before.
