5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe shoulda been called "Torque N Turquoise"?
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2024
I did a repaint on my 1993 GT Karakoram. I'm still giving this paint 5 stars because Dupli-Color paints are awesome. However, it wasn't quite as glossy as I expected and it was more on the blue side of the blue/green mix (I was hoping for more of a seafoam green look). I would call it turquoise blue, not teal. But I really like how it looks, especially now that my bike is built up. I did 1 primer coat, 3 color coats and 2 clear coats. For their 12oz cans, a large bike frame will likely take 1 can plus a little out of a second can (if you do 3 coats). I love Dupli-Color engine block colors because they are quite durable. This is my 2nd bike frame project with their engine block colors.

The local auto parts stores stopped having this brand paint on the shelves. I always bought Dupli-Color spray paints because of the spray nozzle. This nozzle gives you a very nice, even finish.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's not as good as the old 1200-degree paint that they used to make
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2012
I used to really like the old 1200-degree paint that Dupli-Color used to make.

This stuff isn't horrible and is still much better than typical rattle-can paint. But it's nowhere near as the old stuff.

The reason this paint is better than typical rattle-paint is that it can withstand heat and therefore small parts can be "baked" in an oven to really harden and cure the paint.

The problem with typical rattle-can paint is that the stuff chips, scratches, and peels so darn easily. If you had a UV paint-drying booth to really get a good cure on the paint like professionals use even rattle-can paint would be much tougher. As it is rattle can paint never really dries or hardens properly and is very susceptible to damage because of this. I think everyone knows what I'm talking about. You can pretty much scratch it with your fingernail. The best you can do is leave it out in the hot-hot sun for weeks or even months before it is ever used. This helps -but isn't really practical or handy. I knew people who would paint bicycle frames and leave them up the roof all summer before even attempting to build them into a bike.

But this high-heat paint can actually be popped right into your OVEN and baked for hours at 350-400 degrees. The longer you bake it (and the closer you can get it to the maximum heat it (and the parts you are painting) without damaging the piece the better the paint will harden and cure. If you have an old pizza oven you can even bake a whole bicycle frame.

I've actually used the 1200-degree stuff on internal and external gun parts -and baked it at as hot as I could get in an old oven in my garage for 6 hours. After waiting a few days after it cools down the finish is comparable to what black-finished guns come with from the factory. It won't scratch or chip very easily and can withstand harsh chemicals like bore-cleaning fluids and gun oils without being effected.

Unfortunately this lower-rated stuff isn't really that tough :( It's pretty good -but not gun-part tough. I've painted quite a few bicycle parts with this and it is as tough as the factory paint. It'll still chip but it is WAY better than junk ordinary rattle-can paint. It works well on engine parts although on exhaust manifolds it isn't going to hold up as temps get more than 600-degree (and you know that they cheat on these numbers anyhow for long-term heat exposure. At a sustained 600-degree exposure I'm sure this paint would eventually fail unlike the 1200-degree version which would do well on headers.

I only wish I could still find the 1200-degree stuff. I don't know why they quit making it. I'd give that 5 stars but this stuff only gets 4 -really 3-1/2 stars but I'll be generous.
