I think I'd paint the whole engine that color, it think it would look great!!
|
Rustoleum Metallic Cobalt Blue (Doesn't like fuel) top coated with 2 coats of engine high temp clear which makes it fuel friendly.
|
When I worked at the machine shop we would always spray our engines usually with heads on (steel heads) and depends on what customer wants but we would always shoot it with base coat clear coat car paint and it held very well. With the heads being on it would sometimes hide that annoying minuet leak. Usually shows after many hours of use of course. But held up great to fuels. It's just a biotch to strip it for repainted on next rebuild. We did this for all engines auto and marine with lots of satisfaction instead of the ole rattle can.

Thanks for the input guys!!
|
Did my ford blue SBC pictured on the first page in all high temp paints and primers. two coats primer, three coats paint, two coats clear. Rattle can only. Hope it holds up. Was a lot of work!
|
I'm going to go look at high temp paints. I know there's more of a selection now than in the past.
