Engine black - CliffRose - 17-09-12
Hi all......can I ask what's the best engine paint to use as some of mine has come off. I know some of you guys have had to re paint your engines. Do I need high temp paint...
Cheers. Cliff

Will it do to paint the exhaust pipes as well? Mine are a bit rusty at the front where they come from the cylinders.

to be honest no it would not be up to the job that bit it dose get hot a lot hotter then then engine this stuff shud do it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125-ml-VQD-Car-Motorcycle-Exhaust-Paint-Matt-Black-Very-High-Temp-Heat-Resist-/120844826584?
just have a look for some hvt black matt or gloss that Resists temperatures of 650[sup]o[/sup]C intermittently, and 450[sup]o[/sup]C continuously. then you will be ok

I have painted exausts in the past, it never works, burns off
Re: Engine black - Lazarus - 17-09-12
tbqfh - i would say use a spray paint - it give a better finish. its a bit of an arse masking off the areas that u dont want paint on, but the finish is better.
Ill dig out the details of the spray I used and post it up.
Re: Engine black - Panthor - 17-09-12
Whats the best way to prep the engine? Do u need to take off all the old paint first?
Re: Engine black - D4Delta - 17-09-12
Thanks for the advice.
David.

i prepped it with wet & dry sandpaper on the bits where I wanted the paint to go - then masked off all the areas where I didnt want it to go
