ZyClear High Temperature Clear Coat

Breakthrough in High Temperature Clear Coat Technology by ZyCoat!

Unique & Notable Features:

ZyClear High Temp bonds directly to clean metal surfaces with no primer or base coat needed. It’s ideal for protecting stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium parts while maintaining their natural look.

ZyClear High Temperature is a purpose-built, high-performance clear coat designed to protect and enhance metal surfaces exposed to extreme heat. Whether it’s headers, exhaust systems, turbo housings, down pipes, or custom-fabricated components, ZyClear delivers lasting clarity, color stability, and thermal resistance where traditional clear coats fail.

Trusted by performance professionals and builders alike, ZyClear is engineered to stand up to the heat—without sacrificing looks. ZyClear is a heat dissipation coating which prevents the metal substrate from absorbing and retaining heat.

Application and Benefits

Ongoing issues	Solution
Loss of gloss & discoloration (browning or bluing) of stainless steel headers and exhaust.	ZyClear should be applied to your stainless steel headers. Simply clean the surface with ZyClean, allow it to flash off, and then wipe on or spray on ZyClear. Allow 60 minutes to fully air cure.
Loss of color and gloss on titanium exhaust	ZyClear is the solution. ZyClear does not impact the base metal – it serves as a layer of protection and gloss to keep your titanium exhaust looking awesome.
Many powder clears and ceramics don’t bond well to bare aluminum, stainless steel, or titanium, often requiring primers or additional prep steps.	ZyClear is a direct-to-metal high-temp clear coat designed specifically for use on bare or polished metals—no primer needed. It preserves and protects the raw aesthetic of high-end metalwork.

Discover Questions

Considerations	Question	Listen For	Feature Tie in
Thermal Stability	Will ZyClear yellow or discolor over time?		No. ZyClear High Temperature is formulated with UV-stable, non-yellowing resins that maintain clarity and appearance—even with repeated heat cycling and sunlight exposure.
Applications	What is ZyClear High Temperature used for?	Headers, Turbos, Exhaust, Manifolds	ZyClear High Temperature is a clear protective coating designed for metal parts exposed to high heat, such as headers, exhaust tips, turbo housings, and custom-fabricated components. It enhances and protects metal finishes while resisting thermal degradation.
Turbos, Performance, Racing	Can ZyClear be applied to the hot side turbo housing and down pipe?	Turbos, Spool Rate	Yes. ZyClear is designed to be used on bare, polished, brushed, or raw metal surfaces. It enhances the natural appearance while protecting it from oxidation and tarnish. Ceramic chemistry becomes brittle due to glass transition when exposed to temperatures in excess of 600°F.
Ceramic Paint	How does ZyClear compare to ceramic clear coats?	Cerakote, Jet Hot	ZyClear outperforms ceramic clears in all aspects, especially in long term gloss stability, corrosion protection, and lowering underhood temperatures through heat dissipation.
Application thickness	How many coats are recommended?	Thickness, Application	Typically, 1–2 light coats are sufficient. Apply thin, even layers to avoid runs or cloudiness while ensuring complete coverage. If you apply a 2nd coat, apply it within 5 minutes of applying the 1st coat.
Durability	How long does the protection last?	Headers have been in service for over 18 months with outstanding durability and performance	ZyClear offers long-term durability with over 3,400 hours of salt spray corrosion resistance. It also resists UV discoloration and oxidation, keeping components cleaner and glossier for longer.
Coverage	How much ZyClear do I need?	Coverage, application	ZyClear covers 23 sq ft per ounce. A 2 oz. bottle will cover a set of long tube headers.
Racing, Performance	How does ZyClear impact performance?	Throughput, Back Pressure	ZyClear’s heat dissipation properties prevent the metal from absorbing & retaining heat. When metal absorbs heat it radiates both inside and outside the tube – inside creates back pressure and reduced flow – outside increases under hood temperatures. ZyClear reduces radiant heat!
