Not only chalky, but it doesn't even act like paint if you don't heat-cure it. I had a customer with a harley paint his cylinders with the black. He thought the engine heat would cure it, but VHT says it needs 350 degrees for 20 minutes (at a minimum) to cure properly. His fresh rebuild show bike got a few sprinkles of rain on it, and he had little rust circles where the water droplets were. (well, brown circles, maybe not rust...aren't hog jugs aluminum too?)

So make sure you heat cure this paint!
