Good man I've been looking into this too, saved me asking. Cheers RMT

On the RS website it says that no "basecoat" is required, however when I emailed them to check if that's correct, their reply was that an etching primer is necessary, so a bit confused at the moment. Anyone had any experience in using the RS products for minor repairs on the black engine.
Thanks.

you will need to use an etch primer so that the black engine colour will adhere to the bare aluminium

Thanks Fatbloke62. Logically I thought the etching primer would be necessary, but got thrown by the websites blurb. Oh well, more expense.
