I was wondering what others have found to be a good paint for the engine. I have painted an engine with duplicolor high temp paint out of a can before and had poor results.

Do you think that a automotive basecoat/clearcoat would be a way to go? I have painted cars before but never tried an engine. Do you think the paint would hold up to the heat? I was thinking of powdercoating it but that cost alot more.

My plans are to BC/CC the block intake and acc. brackets and maybe get the heads powdercoated since they would see the most heat.

Thanks for your help

I was told to use an etching primer and then use a single stage paint. you could use clear over the single stage for the best gloss but make sure you use a single stage for the color it holds up better to the heat.

b.t.w our sikkens paint rep told me this

i've heard of people using car paint on calipers befor but thats because u cant get custome colors in the shaker cans. i dont know how it would hold up for a "driven" car.
