can you use epoxy paint to paint engine parts such as blocks ,heads,manafolds?i see alot of people paint there engins bright colors and color combanations and was wondering what kind of paint they use.colors are limented on heat rated engine paint at the auto-parts store.

I have always used ppg's single stage concept with an epoxy primer/sealer. Marine engines really never get that hot and a good quality eurathane works fine.

I used just about every type of automotive paint on engines for the street and as long as the engine is properly prepared and primed I have never had any problems. The biggest issue is if rust is present.

thanks for all the help guys.i have been using pettit easypoxy and using there spray thinner to reduce.so far so good.
