Thread: Metal flake engine paint

Tweet

You won't find it in aerosol cans, you have to do it just like painting a car. First you spray an epoxy primer onto the engine, then spray whatever enamel, or metalic onto it.

That is how the pro built cars have such great looking engines.

Here is a picture of my Sons that is painted with metalic.

Gusaroo,
You can paint the block without high temp paint make sure the block is super clean and like Don said use epoxy primer, it will stick.
In the early 80's I painted my motor an tranny on my Harley with laquer and the heavy red metal flake , looked good and stuck to the block for about 15 years . We had to bead blast it to get it off the block.
Check with a auto body supply shop and ask them what to use to prep the block , I'm sure they'll help you out.
