[quote author=Gaz66 link=topic=6412.msg324475#msg324475 date=1618385309]Anyone painted a full motor in Smooth Silver Hammerite, if so, how did it cope with engine heat cycles?

I'm not a painter, but afaik smoothright (all Hammerite paints) are designed for ferrous metals, its a primer, mid & top coat all in one. So someone will correct me if wrong, but I think you would have to use etch primer (because aluminium) first then the smoothright after. But that said i don't believe smoothright has any temp rating?

Correct

If you want a lasting finish, you need an enamel.  Dupli Colour and Simoniz are good it's the colour matching that can be an issue, if you only spray a casing etc.  You've also got to ensure the prep is thorough, ideally soda blasted, primered and then top colour and baked, or it will start peeling inside a year if used regularly less in salt. 

Oh and don't use the clear lacquers over the colour.  Don't say I didn't tell you.
